for those who read my post yesterday regarding an uncomfortable horse.

well rode out in just a full cheek losenge snaffle and no martingale.... and she was a complete twit! rearing and playing up. just being a pain in my derrier! therefore i have come to the comclusion... im gonna stick to what i have been riding in (3 ring french link gag with roundings and a martingale) because i know shes comfortable with me in it and when someone else rides her they can bloody choose whether they want to use the snaffle bridle or my normal bridle. let them bloody decide. huh rant over! lol

if back to basics doesnt suit your horsey then riding in what you and her are most comfortable in is the best thing to do. possibly still is a reaction to other riders but if thats you back in the driving seat most of the time then problem solved for time bieng!
