Hi All:

Congratulations to everyone with baby announcements and my condolences to
those who have lost beloved friends.

Wendy requested these links be forwarded to the list.  They are for the
Glory bits that were discussed last fall.  One style has the butterfly, the
other link has two types of driving bits, one with fixed cheeks, the other
swivels.

I have to admit I had no idea that horse tack was available on Amazon.com.

I have also picked up a low port mullen w/ barrel bit made by Myler that
seems to be well liked.  Really nice bits that can be made with a variety of
cheeks.

last fall?  Can someone remind us of the special fjord bits



I have found that Sandy at  http://www.iowavalleycarriage.com/bits.php 
has a wonderful selection of bits as well as many other driving things 
and has been very helpful.  I am using bits from her and I love them. 
She can explain what works best and ships quickly.

Hi Wendy:

Here are two links for Glory bits.  One is for the Butterfly Glory and the
second is for a driving bit. The Amazon link has two pages with two styles

Debby re riding dressage and bits.  Be sure to check that your full cheek is
acceptable in lower level classes if that is where you are starting.  Would
be difficult to change bits for a class if she is not used to it.  Jean

We use a KK French Link for riding, and Glory Butterfly bit for driving.
Both work well for us. If she is strong on the halter, try using a chain
over her nose and train her to respond to light signals -- she will remember
this when riding/driving. You don't want to let her get in the habit of
leaning on you or dragging you around on the ground.

As a new owner of a Fjord, I would like to ask what kind of bits
everyone rides and drives their Fjords with. My pony is quite strong
when just walking with the halter, I haven't ridden or driven her yet
because of her leg, but I'm curious if they tend to be very strong
undersaddle.  She does walk and pay more attention to me when walking in
a bridle with a frenchlink loosering. I'm leaning towards a frenchlink,
fullcheek. I will do dressage with her. Thanks. Debby
