I think it would be cheaper if I just buy a nice strong bit - back, teeth and saddle checks are always expensive.

You could always use a pair of drawreins, really crank his head to his chest, and a big set of spiky, rowelled spurs to stop him swinging his body from side to side.
Oh, and a schooling whip in each hand. Sorted!

It's strange that there are so few idealistic old gits left, isn't it?
Perhaps they all died showjumping nutters in snaffles in their youth.

I fixed your smiley.
Your tongue had become irretrievably stuck in your cheek.
I empathise.

I think this just might be one of your Top Ten posts ever
I'm not even going to send you the bill for ruining my keyboard as it is now sprayed with tea and snot...totally worth it!

Why not get a lump of metal and use the fires of Hades to melt it down and make your own bit so the serrated bits are in the right place to keep you on? you could have long curb levers as well with extra slots so you could have a seatbelt attached to it and you would be doing classical dressage because you would be using the weight of your body to steer the horse. An added bonus is that as you would be better balanced your hands would be free to use for a ciggie or a bottle of wineAw, I just got my credit card out - but they're not for sale!!!!!
Have you got any links for similar bits I can buy - sometimes I lose my balance when riding and they don't look as if they would slide through the horse's mouth when I need to take hold?
S
I find the comments on this thread very disturbing, No wonder horsey people have a reputation for being so bitchy. I'm glad I don't keep my horses on a livery yard if this is what typical horsey women are like.

Wonderhorse, a lot of old bits are really savage and at the time would have been thought of as normal sadly for horses and mules some are still being made and used.

I agree, it's uphauling.
I had to really search before I found my yard, which is thankfully full of worthy, sincere and completely humourless individuals.
It can be done!

I'm not humourless.. in fact I love a good laugh but bullying is just not funny to me, sorry.

Seriously? You think this is a bullying thread?
That's how it's come across to me?

PS does like to follow me around in threads, complaining about my many faults.
I think it's a sign of secret admiration, don't you?

Great idea, why didn't I think if this years ago. Every time I light a ciggie my horse pisses off. I had to hog him to get rid of the singed mane. Never tried the bottle of wine, does it work for the hip flask too.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to press the button, if someone will tell me how
You should know by now that this is a very PC forum and we dont like such breaches of equal opportunities. I find this comment to be incredibly sexist, could you please provide proof that the guilty parties are female.

Mummy, I mean Shils has forgotten to take her meds today, please do excuse her You go a bit senile at 8903758923694 million years old
I don't know why she was looking on this thread, she usually forges her own bits in the fires of Hades, using her scales as a sharpner

I can't imagine how it must feel (to be mistaken, I mean).
S
But how do you 'feel' anything? Is that sort of thing allowed where you're from?
