    Annagain, good news that what ever it is has worked & he's better for it. I have ordered cold pressed extra olive oil to mix with the tumeric and pepper.

    Best cavesson bridle?

    I've just bought my boy a Jaguar Harry dabbs comfort bridle. It's beautiful leather and came with extra cheek pieces that are shorter for different bits and a removable flash attachment. I don't use the flash and its looks like a normal cavesson. It was £110 excluding reins.
