Re: [RC] scissor snaps - TypeF \(Jackie Floyd\)Boy, don't I know it first hand! I got caught for the second time in one week in a sworm of ground bees. I got bucked off the first time. The second time I chose to dismount while the horse was still moving forward, trying to avoid being bucked off again. She hit the end of the rein, the snap broke and I boinged into the ground backwards so hard, I bruised my ribs, broke or bruised my tailbone (it was a knot in the saddle by the time I was able to get back on) and either tore or sprained the ligaments running down the outside of one knee. I couldn't ride for a couple of months. I couldn't even sit in a chair without a brace on my back to keep my ribs from hurting. And all because of a cheap snap.----- Original Message ----- From: "Jonni" <jonnij@xxxxxxxx> To: "Ridecamp" <ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2005 3:10 PM Subject: [RC] scissor snaps I have seen some folks take a smallish rubber band, and wrap it around the snap where they "scissor", then open the snap against the rubber band, and clip it on the bridle. The rubber band seems to keep the snap from coming open really easy, but you can still unsnap it if needed. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
