Huh? Well, in Michigan, if every horse that was not capable of being ridden
on the trail IN A HALTER was eliminated, Michigan horse trails would be
mighty empty, let me tell you! I too, grit my teeth when I see some rider in
a tug-of-war with a horse who is leaning, gap-mouthed, on a bit, but I
wouldnt ever go so far as to say any horse who can't be trail ridden in a
HALTER doesn't belong on the trail. Get real!

rode him in a halter we could do those trail rides WAY quicker--"hang on mom!
and watch those turns!")
