[RC] s-hack - Jean Miller-Carrie - Kitley, Carrie E Civ USAF AFSPC 30 MDSS/SGSLF

Thanks for all that, Jeanie
What Myler bit did you end up with, if you don't mind? . . . :)  The
more I'm hearing about s-hack, the more I'm thinking it probably
wouldn't be a good idea.  Right now, I use a Kimberwicke and she can be
"interesting" sometimes, even with that.  

Carrie, try it at home.  And try to borrow one.  Your success will
depend on your horse.  I tried the bitless bridle with my guys.  I
really like the idea of one.  They were fine at home until we got to
their favorite running places.  I had to have arms of steel to get them
back in control.  At a ride, my gelding could be ridden with one right
away.  My mare had to do at least one day and then maybe the next day I
could use the bitless bridle.   Now the Fat Pony is another story.  I
started out in a bitless bridle.  The more in shape she got, the more
she yanked my arms.  I finally went to a S-hackamore.  It worked great
for awhile.  Then I had to have arms of steel.  Her first ride the first
10 miles were hell.  I could control her but she kept ducking her head
and yanking me around.  And we were going Fat Pony speed.  I went to a
level-1 level 2 myler bit.  Made all the difference in the world.  No
more yanking, well sometimes but it doesn't last long, and a well
behaved Fat Pony.  Bitless bridle or S-hackamore works great with some
horses and you will have to determine if yours is one of them.  Jeanie
