He's in a leather prong bit, which is mild, but helps them steer by putting pressure on the cheeks instead of just the bars of the mouth. Harry loved the bit and it seemed to fix all his issues. I learn something new every day!
Nell, one of the retired horses, watches the racehorses gallop. I'll have a retired horses photo post soon!
He is cute!
Working in company like a sane horse.
Aw, I was hoping that he wouldn’t work out as a race horse. But he looks great.
ReplyDeleteHe still hasn't actually made it as a racehorse so there's plenty of hope. Haha.
DeleteFingers crossed that he fails at the track and comes back to you. :D
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed the timing works out so I can actually take him if he does :(
DeleteI can never decide what I think about leather bits - there's a certain "oh, someone's going to have to **clean** that, and it's not gonna be me..." that happens in my brain every time I see one. lol
ReplyDeleteDunk it in water as soon as you take it out of the horse's mouth. Problem solved.
DeleteHe's looking good! So torn, I want him to succeed as a racehorse, but I also want him to be too slow and come home to live with you ;) join the grey club #greysfordays haha
ReplyDeleteI want him to win all the things and come to me as a sound five year old. Maybe I'll have a house to keep him at by then. A girl can dream, right?
