> or a fullcheek now, more bending power. My Baldur actually uses the full cheecks to gain leverage to drag people around the arena! LOL He's such a character. We are now in week 5 of the hackamore experiment and I must say that anyone can safely ride him in it. He steers, stops and can be controlled in a spook far better than any other bit. When I take him back to a bit for my use of him (not lessons) I will use the loose ring that he seemed to prefer. It is soft and light and not much of a bit to use to hold his big head up on. I've noticed that he likes to get the students to carry his head for him. Which BTW makes his tripping worse. Speaking of spooks...do any other fjords have spring fever? Baldur went through this last spring also. I think it's a combo of the grass and warm breezes...but he is high! I have to ride him before a lesson to take the edge off. It's fun for me, but not for a few of my little peanut girls. Kate where the rain has FINALLY stopped
