[lilstars]

I'm hoping we can get a couple of ours started this summer. I dont have a clue how to even start,but my mom does.Luckily my mom is my neighbor

. Do you prefer leather or nylon? From what i'v read most people prefer the leather.

 

[lilstars]

i prefer leather but i only have nylon, but it worked, and i didn't have a breast collar (this harness and cart were given to me) so i took the breeching off and made it a collar actually worked good and he seemed comfortable even though i had to make things up

We have a gelding named Bacardi (Little Kings BT Bacardi Gold) as well. He is my favorite horse BUT he needs to learn to do what your boy is doing now
