Re: [RC] Starting youngster - Heidi SmithUntil you have a youngster well-balanced and working off of your body and legs, you really need to be using a direct-rein approach. And that means either a snaffle or a bosal.

I'm thinking I'd like to start him with an s hackamore, same get up I use with my other horse just because I like the configuration. He will be used mostly for trail and some enduranace riding, hopefully. Your input would be greatly appreciated.
