No horse should be foaming at the mouth because of his bit; no horse should have <em>that much</em> shit on his face just so he can be controlled. </p> <p>Horse events legitimately need to start kicking these asshole owners out. If you need excessive force to control your horse, you shouldn’t be there. If your horse doesn’t look happy and comfortable, then you shouldn’t be there. Period. </p> </blockquote> <p>So now double bridles are considered abusive? I’ve seen so many horses (including one I groom for) who go a thousand times better in double bridles than in anything else. Plus, in higher level dressage, double bridles are required; you don’t have to use the curb, but it still has to be there. Not sure about the rules for whatever discipline this horse is riding (because I, for one, don’t judge by one photo), but he doesn’t look terribly stressed to me; he looks like he’s just chewing on the bit and the camera caught him at an unflattering moment.</p> <p>Tumblr equestrians make me want to delete.</p> <p>P.S. Foaming at the mouth, salivating, etc., is considered good. Sure, you don’t want Niagara Falls out of your horse’s mouth, but salivating means he is accepting the bit. I like a good slightly foamy horse. And he doesn’t have “that much shit” on his face.</p> </blockquote> <p>Well put ^^^ Thank you to someone who actually knows what their talking about.</p> </blockquote> <p><em>“Foaming at the mouth, salivating, etc., is considered good.”</em> amen! </p> </blockquote>http://equi-virus.tumblr.com/post/35554091892http://equi-virus.tumblr.com/post/35554091892Mon, 12 Nov 2012 03:45:56 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbnbp5DPab1qbjukeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://breee07.tumblr.com/post/35543266859/that-bridle-o-waaant">breee07</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>that bridle :O waaant!</p> </blockquote>http://equi-virus.tumblr.com/post/35554085337http://equi-virus.tumblr.com/post/35554085337Mon, 12 Nov 2012 03:45:40 -0500
