Brildes and bits don't make horsemen..years of experience and commong sense
do. Halters are okay, so are hackamores, but only for the well-trained and
the well-experienced.

I thought I was being kind to may mare..I rode her in a Kimberwick which she
loved..gave me control..easily. I put her in a hackamore at 80 miles on the
Old Dominion and she ran away with me for three miles..right into the 88 mile
vet check..almost didn;t pass.....the Kimberwick went back in her mouth.
