With your Yahoo ID and email, there's a free photo site. If you're logged into yahoo, go to: http://new.photos.yahoo.com/ There are several other free photo storage sites also: Anyone can have an AOL ID now, and free photo host: http://pictures.aol.com/ Google's photo storage: http://picasa.google.com/ And: http://photobucket.com/ This is a good one for those who need help re-sizing their photos for email purposes: http://imageshack.us/ But feel free to send them directly to the list, no problem. > Judy, all of those sidepulls look much the same.

Ideally I'd like to just use the sidepull and forgo the bit > altogether. The sidepulls are about the same. You may prefer the flat noseband, or the bigger rolled noseband, or the smaller rolled noseband. I think the jowl strap is good to keep the side pieces from going into the horse's eye. You can keep the horse in a sidepull forever if you want. Bits aren't necessary if you have trained the horse in a way that you have a good communication, a meeting of the minds, and you're not relying on a piece of metal to control the horse. Here's some ten-year-old video of playing with Vinur, before he was started: http://iceryder.net/vinurvideo.html (you can see that I'm riding him bareback and bridleless WAY before he was started :-)).
