I'm am using a side pull bridle (It looks like this http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_430xN.20240212.jpg). she dose much better in it then a bit, But she getting Pretty bad at stopping and turning. At home she can practically stop on a dime. but when I'm competing in a Arena she starts getting hard and gait sour.
I don't really want to change to a bit if possible.
Just want to know how to soften her mouth and get her to stop when i tell her to.
Thank you For you help.
This is my old, POS no brand saddle that has been sitting in the garage for nearly a year. lol. Keep in mind it definitely needs cleaned before I ACTUALLY use it... it has a lot of mold and shit on it.
I hate using no brand saddles like this but if it fits her, and I know it fits me, and we both find it comfortable, why not use it temporarily?
Me and my peeps have decided it mostly fits but seems a little wide on her. I'm worried that once I'm actually riding in it, it'll squish down and be too low. I have a half pad I could put on her though, which might be a kind of quick fix.
I just hate to buy a good quality saddle before she's done growing and before she's developed a decent topline. because by then I might need a whole new saddle again lol.
Anyways see what you guys think.. at least it fits her better than the Northrun length wise. lol.

So what do you think? Should I use it? probably with a half pad?
Thanks :-]

Average age of professional 3-day eventers who compete in competitions such as Rolex, etc. Just curious.
