Re: [RC] Tack colors Liz masters - Barbara McCrary

I had a horse have his sidepull bridle get hung up on something at the hitching post at our place. The sidepull was custom made for me at Sportack with two brass rings on each side of the rope noseband.  The horse pulled back violently and he broke the outer ring on the near side of the sidepull, as it was this ring that was caught.  We still use the sidepull, minus outer ring, but the message below makes me realize that brass is a better choice for safety.  Strong enough for general use, but will break under dangerous circumstances.

I like the color combos, but you use stainless hardware??? That is to strong. I get my biothane from sportack and they only use brass, they actually refuse to use anything different, because it is to strong and if your horse got hung up somehow, they could get seriously hurt. I never take chances so I am gonna stick with the brass.
