    Dutch gags?

    I use a dutch gag on my strong mare too and I used two reins for a while as I know your supposed to but tbh, I always had to use the ones on the second ring so only use the one pair now. It is frowned upon though.

    Petite riders with welsh cobs

    Just wondering if there are any other petite people out there with good sized welsh cobs? Although I am progressing well with my heavy 15hh mare, I still have people telling me she too much for me. I am only 5' 1" and a size 10 but I dont think that has anything to do with it! Yes she is...
