Re: [RC] [RC] Bitless Bridle - Joe LongOn Sat, 18 Feb 2006 11:17:09 -0800, "Beverley H.

I'll just add this two cents to the discussion (I haven't read all the posts): I do not own a bridle with a bit. I train all my horses in a hackamore. As soon as I trust them enough, I switch to a "non-mechanical" hackamore (that does not have the long leverage of hinged hackamores). My horses have always done well in them, and can easily eat and drink with them on. I've long felt that this is the most comfortable for the horse. YMMV. -- Joe Long jlong@xxxxxxxx http://www.rnbw.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
