It might be more productive to either 1) ignore the bit totally and stick with a well-known, gentle bit, or no bit, or 2) go straight to the Parelli site and read about the "horsenalities" directly from the source. I absolutely despise that "Fugly" site. I'm sure they'd say that every one of our Icelandic's are ugly - too hairy, thick necks, no withers, blah, blah, blah... Those people don't seem to like anything. (FWIW, I don't care for that particular Parelli bit or their saddles, but I learned that on my own by reading their site, not some watered-down negative blog.) Reading about Parelli on the Fugly Site rates right up there with learning dressage from the Icelanders if you ask me...why waste your time on a long thread on that site? Karen Thomas, NC
