Thanks for everyone's input. I appreciate it. I have been around horses for about 30 years and still there is so much to learn. I tried the bitless on my MFT. It was good except for stopping. I like to stop. LOL Happy Trails from Lori I have trained a few icelandics in Dr Cook's biteless bridle, I have one of his old bridles and one with his newest ones. I have never had a problem with stopping a horse with the biteless bridle, ours stop better with the bitless bridle. But I put a stop on the horse long before I ever got them under saddle first. I have tried the slobber straps and I don't really like them I think they are just to heavy, but I do use a the sccissor snaps on my rope reins. I have about 15 different type of reins I that I use when I ride. With the slopper strap reins they are on forever and I always like to use different reins for training. SOme are real thin width, some are rubber, some are thin cotton, some are barrel racing reins, just to name a few of the different reins I have hanging in tack room. Anne
