I see that there is a lot of differance between driving the way I am used to, and the way you overseas are used to. I wonder why these differances are there...
For example:
We mostly drive on a liverpool or other shank bit.
You mostly drive on a half cheeck bit.
We mostly drive with breeching
You mostly don't
You mostly drive with a side or over check.
We only use an overcheck in some show/performance classes with the Hackney's or the Showdriving horses. It's not really a check, but it lookes like it.
Martingale (??) is not used at all over here.
I do not intend to start a discussion about what is good and what it bad.
I only wonder why there is a whole different way of driving in 2 continents
