Re: [RC] bitless not "severe" - Rae CallawayI just LOVE this analogy! I'm going to use that on my Mom, who constantly anthropomorphosizes her dogs!

You need to observe the animals and then draw your conclusions from *their* actions, not from how you would react if it were you. After all, I doubt most of us would consider laying down in the middle of a road and writhing in the carcass of a dead raccoon absolute ecstasy... but then, we're not dogs :) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
