Literally just brought the Micklem bridle for my daughters 16hh little event horse. Trying not to get to excited but she is instantly a different horse. She is not strong but fights a flash causing her to lean. She is lighter without the flash so the instructor suggested we take it off. She then...

I used one for the first time last week and without sounding cheesy I was amazed. I have a warmblood / TB cross who has a tendancy to be tight through her back. She worked in a fab outline in this although on her stiff rein she fought it at first and kept turning her head to the outside which...

I have a fab little horse that started headshaking a few weeks ago when the weather got warmer. She started flicking her nose up on a hack but this has got worse to the point that she nearly hits me in the face and loses her footing. She normally doesn't seem too bothered by flies and i have...
