This message is from: "Jean Gayle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Yes Jean I do and did, if that makes sense. Anne did not like the bit and put Gunnar on a plain broken snaffle. He certainly came nicely onto the bit after she worked him and he understood it was not one of my fifteen minute sessions. Howev

This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Peg, Are you sure you sent the right picture of Erlend in for the Herald? Looks to me to be an entirely different picture, different leg lifted in front, etc. It doesn't match ANY of his pictures on the website! His butt is tucked and he i

Re: Double bridle for Fjords

This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> My Dressage instructor suggested I go to a double bridle for my big Fjord. Instead I used the glory butterfly bit (mullen mouth) with two reins, using mostly the snaffle rein. I use the curb rein especially out on the trail, when he is diving

Re: Double bridle for Fjords

This message is from: "Jean Gayle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Anneli, Why do you need a double bridle with curb? I know at upper levels of dressage this is used but can not see why it is necessary otherwise? I know my first fjord was afraid of the curb and concentrated only on it the one time I used it
