This message is from: "Denise Delgado" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have an eight year old gelding, used to driving. He had a history of running away and spooking. I say had. Now my trainer has him in a Hackamore 5-3/4" with a twisted iron snaffle for him to mouth. He is delightful with it. We tried a plain Hackamore and he did fine, but seems to like the snaffle too. I sounds a bit (get it) rough, but he has a "toughened mouth" from driving and is used to not giving way, or not getting release when complying. Whatever the cause, this bit works. Wish you and your horse well, Denise in hot, hot, hot and sunny Mokelumne Hill, Calif. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jackie Bellerive <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, June 30, 1999 5:10 PM Subject: What Bit to Use!!
