Re: [RC] Eventing vest info wanted - Sisu West Ranch
When I was trying to civilize Maverick, who bucked
whenever he perceived a scary stimulus, I purchased a cheap one. I still
have it. The problem with the cheap one is that the foam is in large
pieces. It is quite uncomfortable. Sort of like wearing medieval
amour.
I would recommend purchasing one with smaller
pieces just for comfort.
The other obvious problem is they are hot.
So you have to decide if protection from broken ribs is worth it.
My eventual solution was to admit that I am not as
macho as I once was and to sell the horse to my trainer. To counter the
horror stories of horses sold that end up in packing plants, I got an Xmas card
this year showing him happily trail riding with the trainer's mother
aboard. He just needed more time and work than I could risk my body
on.
