It has a little criss-cross thing under the jaw that Dr. Cook's doesn't have. <BR/>Tripp really likes it and most of the time listens and responds very well. We have put in a lot of hours on trails starting with the halter and lead, and now with this. <BR/><BR/>I tried a bit and it was ME who had a problem watching him try to adjust (I put in in his mouth 2-3 days in a row for a while) - he looked so pitiful, and I thought "Hey, we have been doing fine with the halter and lead, why not try to find something bitless to see if he likes it?" so I did.<BR/>I have had some people try to get me to put a bit in his mouth again for the extra control, but I have seen horses take off with their riders with all sorts of bits.<BR/><BR/>A horse is a horse of course of course, and they will do horsey things no matter how well behaved they are most of the time. :-)<BR/><BR/>Until later...Karen and TrippKaren C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17821715845950939900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805180195117023440.post-41952150710268693052009-01-25T12:14:00.000-06:002009-01-25T12:14:00.000-06:00Wow!

Is that a bitless bridle that you are using on him? I just bought one similar to that on ebay, but it is more like a rope halter. I have done some ground driving with Cruzer with it on and he seems to like it! How does Tripp like it?cruznrowdeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16916713178299030101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805180195117023440.post-41143105054258306892009-01-18T21:21:00.000-06:002009-01-18T21:21:00.000-06:00GREAT PLAY BY PLAY, almost like being there!

Well, we have all been there done that, just watch out for the 'what ifs' now, they have a way of adding up and undermining some horse trainers. Horses are so funny when they realize you really aren't stuck together. Good for Tripp for coming back for his partner. Extra points for you both! It's a sign of a good relationship!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805180195117023440.post-49216233681128891872009-01-18T20:31:00.000-06:002009-01-18T20:31:00.000-06:00Yep, it is the day after, and I am sore!

I know I scared the heck out of him, but I could not even roll over to face him after I landed - I just kept bobbing my head and shoulders up and down like a seal bouncing a ball on it's nose so he knew I was alive! <BR/><BR/>See ya at the Horse Celebration!Karen C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17821715845950939900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805180195117023440.post-32409223765106390482009-01-18T10:06:00.000-06:002009-01-18T10:06:00.000-06:00Hope you are feelng ok this morning...The day afte...Hope you are feelng ok this morning...The day after is always the hardest for me....Has me wishing I'd won the lottery and could go out and buy a hot tub!
