I want to start taking lessons at this nearby stable, and I was just wondering if they would allow me to ride my own horse with my english saddle and my kind of western bridle. It’s a normal bridle with just a browband and has a chinstrap. There is nothing on the nose. I am riding with a broken bit (not a snaffle bit). Would they allow me to ride and jump with that?
They should allow you. It sounds okay to me.
I just got a really nice fancy padded bridle from a friend, and am trying to find out the brand. It has fancy stiching and lots of padding on the nose and brow band. On the throatlatch, there is a fancy "F". Does anyone know what brand it might be, since I need to find a coordinating saddle? Please help!
It could just be the size of the bridle.
"P" for pony, "C" for cob, "H" for horse and "F" for Full.
*shrug* Just a thought. You don’t typically find name brands that go by just one random letter.
Good luck finding out the right answer.
lets just say you were bored and wanted to jump on your horses back in the middle of the paddock… how would you control where you wanted to go if you dont have a bridle or halter etc?
is it possible?
Yes it is very possible! If you have a good relationship with your horse based on trust, respect, communication, imagination, and rapport. I am learning lvl 2 in Pat Parreli’s natural horsemanship techniques and am well on my way to riding and playing with my horse without a bridle or halter/rope etc. Here are some amazing videos of other people doing it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow2yDdRK_Zc, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht2T7×5AXIE&mode=related&search=, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vG_WhzwxeI&mode=related&search=, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQsNJc4VIp4&mode=related&search=, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqi0NlPvMEQ .. It is not something you can easily do with your horse training and riding in the traditional way. But can be achevied with a greater understanding and bond between horse and human, when you can get your horse to do nearly anything by simlpy asking.
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.
