Do you find this as effective with a side pull as a bit - I think it's the fine tuning stuff like this, is where I see the difference. The stopping part, I don't really see much difference - if they are going to run through a sidepull, they are going to run through a bit. I did feel Kolur respond to the pulses in the side pull but I think I would have had a better feel with a bit. They are so many things I really like about a side pull, especially on the trail, that those real fine tuning things could be saved for sessions in the arena. ****************** I'm way behind on emails because I'm trying to get two businesses started and it's a ton of work. Anyway, I switched Kolur to a sidepull when I saw my instructor ride him in a bit in the arena. He kept poking his nose in the air and I could just tell that very mild bit was bothering the heck out of him. His teeth were recently floated so I don't think that was it. He is just SO much more relaxed in a sidepull. No more running off or throwing his head around. Kolur is a character in the winter when he has extra time on his hands. He wants to have fun! He wants to do clicker training and follows me around everywhere. He loves chasing Decker, our naughtiest goat. And Decker gets him back. He pushed a gate against Kolur's butt today and managed to dodge the repercussions. Got to get a video clip of those two... Sue __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
