ponies

[rides2far@juno.com (Angela C. McGhee)]

Can I add one more note for the sake of the ponies?  Ponies faces get
broad through the jaws much quicker than a horses' (measuring from nose
upwards)  The average western curb is a good width through the mouth, but
the rings extending upwards dig into the jaws.  They are too narrow.  I
lay the bit on a step, and take a hammer and make the rings on top of the
shanks flare outwards.  Wonder how many ponies would be nicer if there
weren't bars digging into thier jaws.
