Eak - mum is planning to take Badger to the opening meet tomorrow!

Do you think she'll be ok?? She is staying at the back with her friend and not jumping much but he might be a bit of an idiot as he hasn't been out yet,well only for half an hour.

She hasn't hunted him before as always said she thought he'd be too much for her... what do you guys think?? She can always go home if he is I guess.

She is asking me what bit to put him in, not sure what to suggest? She doesn't fancy the myler as it's still in the testing phase. I was gonna say American gag with 2 reins as she'll def have brakes in that but I don't really want her jumping him in that... There's his waterford snaffle but that might cut his mouth hunting.. but I'd feel a bit cruel sending her out in a plain snaffle!! What do you think???

What about a boucher snaffle, or a dutch gag with 2 reins

 

[seche]

Gag and two reins any day !

I've just spoken to her, she's gonna go with with gag and 2 reins. She said she'd rather not jump than not have brakes!

Eak I hope he behaves himself!!!

 

[oofadoofa]

I hope he doesn't do too much of his broncing!!

 

[Starbucks]

hehe, me too!!

I don't think she'll bother about that too much... it's not like she's a pathetic old person type of mum.

I think she's more worried he'll be too strong, her horse is strong but in more of a slow way.

I'm sure she'll be fine. I'd be worried if she was thinking of having a full day up front, but she's only taking it steady.

He's fairly polite in that way so hopefully he'll think it's boring and settle down.

Only other worry is she is staying with her mate and mate's daughter... and Badger HATES mate's daughters pony!!

He punched him in the nose once!!!

I've warned her not to let him get too close!!
