I've been riding on my very well behaved and quiet youngster for nearly a year now, always with a neck strap just in case. I rarely touch it, sometimes hook a finger under if I'm approaching something I consider warrants it, of course I'm never holding it if he shies at something! It's a bit cumbersome having a stirrup leather hanging around and I was wondering if a balance strap attached to the D rings of the saddle gives as much help as an extra handle? My main reason for holding the strap is to save thinners mouth should I become unbalanced in a spook.
