Well, the ever-pleasant Fugly people don't like it, (surprise,
surprise, eh?) Here's a thread from March where they are discussing
this bit setup:... I should warn 'yall, they talk more about the horse
personalities thing than the bit, but it does get mentioned here and
there -- and it's an ungawdly long thread!
It might be more productive to either 1) ignore the bit totally and stick
with a well-known, gentle bit, or no bit, or 2) go straight to the Parelli
site and read about the "horsenalities" directly from the source. I
absolutely despise that "Fugly" site. I'm sure they'd say that every one
of our Icelandic's are ugly - too hairy, thick necks, no withers, blah,
blah, blah... Those people don't seem to like anything. (FWIW, I don't
care for that particular Parelli bit or their saddles, but I learned that on
my own by reading their site, not some watered-down negative blog.)
Reading about Parelli on the Fugly Site rates right up there with learning
dressage from the Icelanders if you ask me...why waste your time on a long
thread on that site?
