I could hardly stand it, I had the money so I bought Myst a Smart Bridle.
It was not fully adjusted, but I couldn’t wait and had to take a few pics of it on him. I finely adjusted it when I got in the house.
I think he likes it. He saw me coming with it and he put his nose right in it and let me fiddle and adjust it. I gave it a quick test run. He did SO amazing. He stopped when I asked him to stop and it was a firm stop, no dancing. There was no head tossing, no space nose. He lowered his head and went with a relaxed feel to him. He was a different horse then using the bit or even the halter on him.
Thanks to those of you in old threads who suggested Running Bear and the Smart Bridle. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE it and I think Myst loves it.
I can’t wait to get him a new saddle so we can start riding.
