Re: [RC] [RC] question on choosing a halter/bridle combo - Jonni
I don't like the snap on bit hangers. Tougher to
get the bit in just the right position and height that I like in their
mouth as to a separate headstall, which I find just hangs nicer. Also, the
separate headstall makes taking it on and off a tad quicker. No need to snap
anything, just put on and off like regular bridles, and I hang it over my
shoulder. Reins snapped on halter for lead.
Here is a photo of one that Animal Tacker made. It
has a tab at the poll, that connects the halter to bridle, to prevent the bridle
from coming off with a head shake or rub. I have been very happy with this
design.
I prefer the beta biothane, as it is softer, and
has a nice feel, and not as stiff as regular biothane. I also prefer stainless,
as it is stronger than brass, and will not leave green smudges on a grey horse.

Go to a ride and look at a few, and ask folks of
you could see how easy it is to bridle and unbridle with the bit hangers. Some
folks love them. Not all tack is "right" for every person and horse, thus
so many choices!
