Hummer's Hero Posts: 3071 Location: Smack Dab in the Middle	I had a neat mare that was super light and needed very little riding during a run...the less you did the better she ran. Basically just needed a tiny tip on the backside of her barrels to keep her tight. I had an old side pull that was suffering from some dry rot in the leather headstall, so I dismantled it down to just the rawhide noseband. Put a pretty headstall on it, a soft leather chinstrap, and reins. It freed her up a lot, but she was never one that I worried about stopping. She eventually graduated to a ring snaffle as she began running harder and faster, but I had to keep my hands very quiet (which is very natural for me).

Am I really the Weirdo? Posts: 11181 Location: Kansas	My old bay horse can run in a halter. I wouldn't do it if you were running to an open gate just for safety reasons. I haven't run him in a halter for a number of years but he's one of those that works the same every time and really all I have to do with him is help him find the first barrel, then kick & push the whole way.
