I'd like to get people's advice on using a vosal or hackamore. My new
horse is very green, but very responsive to the bit, and seems quite mellow on
the trail using just a copper-mouth D snaffle (of course we haven't actually
done a ride yet!). I'd like to switch him to a vosal or S-hackamore mainly
because of the convenience for eating and drinking, but have never used one
before. I'm curious about the pros and cons of this. He's nine years
old and has been well-treated his whole life, but has had little riding other
than 90 days training as a 3-year-old. I'm doing a lot of dressage work
with him this winter, along with trail riding. He has a very sweet and
willing personality that is taking some getting used to after all the years of
dealing with Cheers :^) Thanks in advance.
