| unless it is dangerous to allow the rider to keep it the way they are doing it, hurting the horse or hindering the rider, I don't care and will not say anything. But I did have to tell the judge at a play day doing the "tack safety check" that I would NOT move the curb chain of my bit into the snaffle rein hole at his direction.
Its sad when you know more than the judge for the event and to me that was sad for the participants who may not have known better and are potentially in harm's way because of a "more educated" person's direction. |

Location: New Mexico | I recently purchased 5 nylon headstalls because I have too many bits. I LOVE them. I like how you can switch bits on them with a snap, not having to do the whole Chicago scew thing |

Location: The best kept secret in TX | I'm a lurker on that page (Tacky Tack of the Day) . I have yet to post, yet to comment and yet to like one single picture. A friend was posted on there a few months or so ago and you know what she said when she saw her picture of her going around the first barrel posted there???
"Ugh! Finally!"
I must've looked at her funny cause she continued:
"Now I know I'm good. People don't like that I'm winning so they have to bash what I'm wearing and how I have to ride him." (Her leg was pulled up to miss the barrel. He gets really close sometimes and makes us both nervous.)
Couldn't really argue with that. Loved her attitude toward it. She did laugh at her funny face she was making in the picture but hey, we all have that one picture from a race we'd rather forget LOL
(The original poster deleted the picture for some reason. I tried finding it.) |

Haha! I'm not much for nylon tack, but I know a lot of people who love it.
Thought you guys would like them when I saw them hanging there.  |

Haha! I'm sure they are great sellers. At that price even I could eventually afford one in every color.  |

The only time I have ever judged someone based on their tack was last year when a horse came screaming into the arena in a tie down, brain chain (NOT a bohnet... an honest to goodness chain that went up over the poor guys ears and down in an x across his face and around his chin), and big long combination bit. and guess what? he went up the wall, even with all that. The poor horse couldnt even move his head he was so tied down and confined :( I don't feel like a witch saying that all of that is unnecessary... if you need all that to control your horse, go back to the practice pen and get him broke. or find him a new job that he enjoys.
I run my 16.1hh freight train of a horse in a sweet six. no tie down, no big warm up bit... I've had girls make snarky comments about how i'm going to get around the barrels with nothing in her mouth. last week we ran at a rodeo where first barrel is in no mans land. I'm gonna say 90% of the horses ran off going into first. My mare screamed in there and turned it. In a sweet 6 ;) Judge on! People will judge no matter what. Sad but true.
THIS! The only time I "judge" is when I see terrible contraptions on horses being yanked and pulled around. I don't care at all if you're wearing bling, fringe, or nylon. |
