Horse Tack & Saddles

I have a 5 or 6 year old female horse. And you can ride her barback,but when we try to put the bit in her mouth, she backs away. Well i only have 1 bridle, and i have another male horse.Should i get a new bridle, or should i keep trying to put it in her mouth?

just clean it between uses. I train rescues for a horses rescue in my area. I foster some and keep some;) but I have a personal mare who was a rescue I kept and she hated to take the bit. basically you can do several things, you can put your finger in the corner of the mouth press down on the tongue which forces the mouth open or you can back the horse up so its bum is almost touching your fence. this way the horse cannot back away. I do this out of habit when I tack horses up anyways but after you do that use you right hand with the bridle use your elbow to have the horse lower its head slowly using your left hand on the bit tell your horse to open while you lower the bit. if she throws her head the bit will pop her on the nose which she will not like making it easier to have her just accept it. my horses I just say open and they do, if not stick your left hand index finger in her mouth and slip the bit in. good luck

I know what a war bridle is, and I know it is for a horse, but does anyone have a picture of one? I have looked all over the internet, except the image search because my proxy server wont allow it, and I havent found anything! Please help me!

My horse passed August 11, and I have finally decided to clean his tack. I live in the South, so it’s really damp and sticky out here in the summers and tack can get really nasty. Do you have any tips on how I can get mold off my horses bridle?

well i just cleaned someone else’s bridle for them and it was very moldy.

Just use leather cleaner, conditioner, etc. there are some brands that have a three-step product. you use 1 to do something for it, 2 for another thing, 3 for another, get those.

Use an old toothbrush and scrub like heck. you can also use your fingernail or a coin.

Sorry to hear about your loss. It’s hard when you lose a horse, but you’ll get over it if you havn’t already.

No bridle on the horse means that all the manuevers must be asked for with the legs, voice and seat of the rider. It requires good training basics. This is a 6 year old Appaloosa stallion named YOR High Noon – owned, trained & shown by Roger Johnson of Asquith, Saskatchewan, Canada. This video shows the first time High Noon was asked to perform without the bridle. (Filmed in 2001) Visit us at www.reining-appaloosa.com

I am a new horse owner and I want to purchase a bridle that’s comfortable for my horse. I want something that isn’t harsh up against his ears (crown piece), has a comfortable nose band (is it needed?) and brow band. What seems to be popular? I currently ride western but am looking for a good, used Isabell dressage saddle so I want a bridle that will go with any style. Does such a bridle exist?
Thanks!

fortunately, all bridles are adjustable. Its mostly up to you on what style and color you prefer. Courbette bridles are comfortable and fashionable, but of course they are about the most expensive bridle you can get. Crosby bridles are also popular and affordable. I recommend a Crosby
