Re: [RC] question on choosing a halter/bridle combo - rides2farMarta, I find the bridles with the bit attachments to be somewhat awkward, I've got both. The one with the bit hangers is what I've used the most and was happy enough with, but the halter still has a browband at the vetcheck and that seems to itch a lot. Then I got the Zilco that has the bridle separate from the halter and a browband that connected them. Unhooking the browband was too awkward to deal with at vet checks, the loop idea that connects the bridle & halter looks quicker. Lately though, I'm liking less and less on my horse's head. Just more stuff to itch. If he's itching when I stop, he's not drinking. So right now I'm leaning towards the separate bridle on top of the halter, and I may ask them to make a throatlatch so when I'm training I don't have to even bother with the halter. I can't remember the last time I tied a horse when out on a ride. Right now on Gunner I've just got an English hack with a headstall that I removed the browband from (it was too short and pulling the sides towards his eyes) Don't like that since the bridle slides down his neck. Is there a reason we don't make the western type one eared headstalls?
