ENGLISH HACKAMORE

["John B.Ayers" <ayers@plainfield.bypass.com>]

At the Maine-80 this weekend several riders suggested
that I need something more than a full-cheek snaffle on
my  8YO Arab gelding in competition. Until now everyone
I asked said the snaffle should be enough.

Meshack is VERY competitive and difficult to hold back
when there are horses in front (or behind <g>).

The gal I started with on day one suggested an English
hackamore. After the ride I tried hers on Meshack and
he responded well (no competition at the time).

Does this sound like a good step and where can I 
obtain one with a WIDE (2"+) noseband?

John and Meshack (I'm getting a what?)
