Brett King riding in filet

[Gingerwitch]

I have just seen this "and for those who will say that he’s torturing his horse’s mouth, he’s riding in filet and he knows better than hurting one of his best horses!!!"

so what does riding in filet mean ?

I must confess I googled it... and found this: https://galop-of-hope.skyrock.com/3156347704-Le-filet.html But I'm afraid I'm still non the wiser!

It is indeed.

 

[Gloi]

A filet baucher? A hanging cheek snaffle?

Thank you ladies - that's something new I have learnt today.

Filet is bridle. Mors is bit.

 

[ester]

kidding? or king?

 

[Palindrome]

"Filet" is a normal bridle (also called "bridon"), "bride" is a double bridle.
So a filet is only used with one bit and is normally considered gentle.
Where have you seen this/in what context?

That language is definitely from someone who is French. It's like Palindrome says, they mean he's not riding in a double bridle.

 

[ester]

Kidding.

 

[9tails]

Kidding.

Or in other words, Tristan Tucker.

 

[ester]

Exactly, that's why the surname is kind of important otherwise the joke gets lost

 

[Tiddlypom]

Who is real, then? Brett Kidding or Tristan Tucker? Neither? Both?

*not getting what this is all about*

 

[ester]

Tristan is his real name, the tristan of TRT method.

for a laugh/take the piss out of stressage/horse people, occasionally he does 'demos' as Brett Kidding.

loading one

 

[be positive]

TT is real, he does his act as Brett Kidding.
I see I cross posted with ester, demo is probably the term he uses.

 

[Tiddlypom]

Oh, I thought that the TRT method was the Tellington Touch method. Oops. Must pay more attention in class.

 

[ester]

Haha no , there's an olympia freestyle one too.
