Laree & Karen: I seem to be collecting side-pulls and their relatives! I've got the Dr. Cook Bitless (Lilja does well in this); a Parelli type mecate rope hackamore bridle (well-made in a large variety of colors by Cypress Lodge (Lodge Ropes) in Australia even with shipping, still cheaper than Parelli http://www.freewebs.com/lodgeropes/hackamoresbitlessriding.htm); an Enduro rope bridle-hard to explain, kind of like a regular rope halter with a side-pull noseband(also made by Cypress Lodge)-it doesn't look as substantial as a leather or biothane side-pull but everyone I've tried it on in the arena have responded well; a leather side-pull I bought from Liz Graves (rolled leather noseband-Tyra-my Fjord's favorite); a biothane side-pull/halter combo from Moss Rock (Lilja's favorite); an RJ woven side-pull from Longriders Gear (only 39. comes in diff. colors but I had to add a jowl strap)(Laree, that's the one Mura has; the Side-pull from SaddleUp tack (milder flat noseband-Star the Paso Fino's fav); and I have that side-pull piece that attaches to a regular bridle that you guys are discussing now >>>> Here is the type of sidepull I use. http://cgi.ebay.com/HORSE-BITLESS-BRIDLE-ROPE-HACKAMORE-BOSAL-BLACK-YELLOW_W 0QQitemZ260173624958QQihZ016QQcategoryZ3177QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZView Item. I got it months ago and I haven't even tried it yet! I can try it and report back or send it to one on you to try...
