Love the colors. How does it work?
Hate to even tell you. The little short s curve shanks apply pressure on the chain. Hunter is a high energy Tennessee Walker that I have determined to work with rather than dumping him back on the market. His tongue is badly scarred by an old injury (perhaps from a bit) so I can't use the snaffle bits I love so much. Mostly, I use a soft following hand or even loose rein, but I'm not sure a sidepull would be enough headgear for him. He's actually so very much better at home that he's practically ready for the dude string. Maybe I should try the sidepull. We often ride with my friend who has the world's best Appaloosa, good old Prizey. He's been a very calming influence for Hunter, who has just about decided that the world is not a scarey place after all. A rattlesnake rattled tight beside his feet yesterday and all he did is look down quickly and sort of curve his body away from my leg on that side. I assume I might have applied some reflexive leg pressure. I just can't learn to love rattlesnakes. Nancy
