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.
