I hope you get to ride with her or someone with her level of bitting knowledge, it really does make a difference. It would've taken me 30 years of trial and error to arrive at the same conclusions she did in minutes, just because she's so experienced and knowledgable in this particular thing.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292565760924146966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-68843765662859256392019-06-06T01:12:55.875-04:002019-06-06T01:12:55.875-04:00bRoWn YASSSSSSSSS

I also have been thinking for a while that the bit I have is not suiting him any more but I don't know how to make a chance. Because every time I read about your horse I feel like I am reading about mine its tempting to just buy the bit you bought and assume it will be magical for my horse also, but that's a big leap to make! I will email her and see if she if she every does clinics near Massachusetts!islgrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07926127836252687116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-60158229563699723992019-06-04T15:32:11.557-04:002019-06-04T15:32:11.557-04:00Bridles are so hard.

If you have a horse in between sizes the clinic is certainly helpful if you can find one!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292565760924146966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-6251513813362091502019-06-04T15:03:50.545-04:002019-06-04T15:03:50.545-04:00Interesting read.

I had him in a miklem, but he had many opinions about that, so I ended up buying a Kavalkade with the anatomical crown, which made him happier but I still get opinions when I put it on.He seems to want me to know it still is touching and he doesn't like it. I would be curious to try this and see if he likes it better but would like someone to help me do the fitting as he's a cob or horse size depending on the bridle or part of the bridle...islgrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07926127836252687116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-24317342181972248502019-06-04T14:40:10.987-04:002019-06-04T14:40:10.987-04:00interested in all of the details, since my mare is...interested in all of the details, since my mare is similar!ponyzambonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14275935983911423792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-87272913265120405782019-06-04T14:35:14.672-04:002019-06-04T14:35:14.672-04:00I didn't really mean for it to happen this way...I didn't really mean for it to happen this way but it is!

You can go pretty far out of your way to make a bridle work, but there are some things I never would have considered, like at what point the cheek straps are sewn onto the noseband like with my PS. Totally fascinating and very eye-opening.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292565760924146966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-46238645094650427122019-06-04T09:43:56.313-04:002019-06-04T09:43:56.313-04:00What a fascinating post.

I've always liked the look of the Schockemoehle bridles at the poll but none seem to have a traditional enough look for use in hunters that I've found. Bit choice is so interesting and I would love to have access to someone with that kind of knowledge. I did try to look around for a clinic listing but doesn't look like there is one all in one place. Without a trailer would be hard for me to get somewhere anyways though. <br />Excited to hear about your saddle stuff too!Stampy and the Brainhttp://www.stampyandthebrain.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-6079443179945377662019-06-04T07:35:40.918-04:002019-06-04T07:35:40.918-04:00BROWN!
