It was a battle to get the bridle on. Hi Melissa, My gelding is very ear-shy...we joke that he has "sacred ears." LOL I bridle him by being very patient, speaking very soft baby talk to him, and have taught him to lower his head a bit in response to light pressure on his face and poll. The key is patience. Until you can get a bridle on the horse without a fight, you can also get headstalls that don't have a browband - they fasten like a halter, so there's nothing you have to put over the horse's ears. If you like everything else about the horse, I would not let this scare you off. Dawn in East Texas and Chivas (owner of the sacred ears) ============================================================ One would think that logic would prevail. But then, if logic did prevail, men would ride sidesaddle. ~ Bob Morris ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
