gorgeous_george...........i have wanted to do it for so long but couldent do it..

 

[Silverspring]

Aw I just love the top pic! He looks like such a sweet heart

Just wanted to mention about your browband, I've heard tale of those chain brow bands snapping and hitting the horse in the eye

there was a thread about it a few weeks ago where a horse had been laid up for month with an ulcer in the eye. Don't want to scare you but I would think about changing it if you can, not worth the risk IMO.

Is that a western bit he's ridden in? It looks great, I could do with bigger D rings to aid my steering

 

[244jimmy]

Silverspring..... he is sweet so, honest

its my show one .....so only use it verry rarely had a bit of a play session..

Is that a western bit he's ridden in? ...no its a myler..

Lovely pics.

I used to happily ride bareback - dont do it anymore - I blame modern jodhs being too slippery - nothing to do with the fact that at my age my balance and courage are not what they used to be!

 

[244jimmy]

lol sprout ....my sister would bareback all the time ..where as i would much prefer a saddle ....due to my currage and jods too

 

[crazyponys]

were did you get your browband its fantastic !!!!!!!!

In my braver youth I used to canter my pony bare back up from the field quite often when I was bringing her in.

So much fun!

It looks like you are having a great time!

Well done! I ride bareback sometimes to improve my seat but I don't find it fun at all! It bruises places I don't want to mention - maybe my horses are just boney?!
