Oldenburg's post on hacking out in draw reins got me thinking .....
I have a lovely youngish horse, who has tripped when hacking. Essentially, he loses concentration, up goes his head, he trips. When young we fell a couple of times and hence I lost my confidence hacking out.
In the school I use a snaffle - he is quiet responsive and we work in quite a nice relaxed outline most of the time these days.
Please recommend something to hack out in. Happy to let him stretch when walking, but anything faster and I want to be working in a outline!! A martingale just isn't strong enough.
Thoughts particularly on
Rubber/happy mouth mullen pelham with double reins
Market Harborough
Abbot Davies(!)
and any other suggestions
Thanks
