Oh I can play! Bailey is only 30 inches and pulls my fat behind like a machine! xox Leonie xox

Of course damage can be done with bitless bridles, I agree. I do use a cross under bridle and I am very aware of that. I guess I am lucky that Bailey is so responsive and listens to my voice commands and is a VERY laid back horse. I very rarely have to use any pressure what so ever to get him...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I just wish they weren't so expensive! Bailey is so little and has a tiny chest that I really feel that a v-shaped would benefit him. I really should buy one. Take up the opportunity while my hubby is in Canada and then I don't have to pay the huge postage...

He is doing great Rachel! I watched the video here at work even though I'm not supposed to be on youtube! I couldn't resist. These little horses give their hearts to us and you re correct, there are a lot of owners that don't realise what they have. You are so lucky to have a trail around...

How exciting! I love the feeling of knowing that the 'day' is almost here! Good luck, and get plenty of photos to share.

Well I'll be the one to go against the grain here. I drive Bailey in a bitless bridle. He has never had a bit in his mouth. I do not have any control issues with him at all. In fact, I have had many comments on how responsive he is. I have known, and seen MANY MANY horses out of control...

I'm after a V shaped breast collar for Bailey as suggested here on the forum. I noticed the one that Leia (hobbyhorse) has on her guy and really like the look of that one. I don't have a lot of money to spend and some of the ones I have seen cost more than my harness did! I have not been able...

Thinking of you during this difficult time. xox Leonie xox

My poor OH has quite bad tennis elbow and certain activities such as trimming the little horses hoofs really adds pain to his day. He is always looking for easier ways to do things. He has always said that there must be a better, easier way to trim hoofs and had heard of using an angle grinder...

Marsha, so sorry, I seem to have taken over your post! I can shorten the traces so I will do that...that is an easy fix. Can someone suggest where I should buy a 'V' shaped colar for Bailey? I have looked at websites here in Australia with no luck. I did search some American sites and some...

LOL Marsha, don't ask me! I'm only learning myself. I had a lady point out after these pics were taken at our training day that I should have the traces through the shaft loops and breeching straps so that they don't sag down like you can see in the photos. I have also now adjusted the chest...

I had posted some photos of Bailey and Willow on the photo forum page and no one replied so I figured that no one was interested. This is a photo taken a while back. I have no idea what I was doing with my hands in this photo! And these pics taken on Saturday at our winter training day...

I drive Bailey in a bitless bridle. In fact, he has never had a bit in his mouth. I bought my bitless bridle here in Australia. It's all leather and a lovely cross under bridle. I'd like to see the rules relaxed here too as far as competing in a bitless. It means I can't show him in cart...

It's been a while since posting pics of Bailey and Willow. It's Autumn time here, the days are cooling off and my little horses think it's time to grow enough fuzz for 30 horses! Just love these 2 pics of Bailey looking through the fence. His hairy little legs. LOL And we went for a...

Can I just clarify that I actually do have fun at shows! But - the backstabbing and competitive nature of some people sure drags down my spirits. I attend almost every local show and even the State Championships. I don't take Bailey and Willow, my horses, I help out my good friend with her...

LOL. Even the colour is like a roo.

They look fabulous Karla. Can't believe that they are that big now. I always love your photos.

I understand your point Krissy. Here in Australia, most people only clap for the people they know. We also only hand out placing ribbons for the top 3 placings, sometimes top 4. I am really tired of the showing scene. Competition seems to bring out the worst in people. The amount of back...

OMG. You worked very hard at getting all of that hair off! Look at the ground, it's like shag pile carpet. I can never get that much hair off in one grooming session. You are a grooming machine!
