I talked to Simon again today. He's probably buying the 10 prototype
frames back from the rep who never repped, and he thinks he can update
them and put the new harnesses on and be able to sell them for a
discount (email me privately). He would be more predisposed to sell
those discounted ones t

I said that. I've bee talking to Simon for ages, but as a typical
inventor, he kept tinkering and modifying. He did send 10 prototypes to
a woman in Texas who didn't do anything with them. Last year, I found

You can use a saddle as a surcingle but you need to raise and anchor
the stirrups.
I really do prefer to use a saddle and stirrups because too often the
surcingle rings are in the wrong place. I hate it when the reins tend to
work to"set" the head. It's a balancing act - keeping th

They are very short sessions. Today was about 15-20
