Hello H&H folk!
I am the proud owner and of course mummy to a filly.
Belle (who's show name is Tabula Rasa - Latin for blank slate) is a rising 2 year old rescue filly.
She was very malnourished while in her mother and for the first year of her life. Because of this despite her sire being 15h and her dam 14h I believe she will only make about 13.2/3h.
So here's my enquiry. What do people think about breaking bitless?
Of course I won't be doing this for at least 18 months - 2 years from now. I just wanted to to know people's experience on breaking bitlesss & opinions.
She is incredibly responsive to voice commands. I simply click and she trots, I say 'keep up' if she starts to slow and she keeps going, 'waaaalking' to go back to walk. And so on you get the drift.
We are currently working on moving away from pressure which she is extremely good at picking up so far.
Anyhow I don't want to go to far into it all lol
Just wondered what people thought.
thanks!
