Re: Micklem bridles
Heddylamar, I also have a pair of PS of Sweden reins and love them. Mine also have the cradles but I haven’t tried them yet. What I like is you can use them or not. I used the product rein aides and I don’t think I had a good connection when I used them and I thought PS cradles would be similar. Mos...

Re: Micklem bridles
I have looked at a few different brands of these anatomical style bridles, in all the photos, they rea Y do t look like they cut back that far away from ears. Or is it just the way the photos look? Is the Bobby’s well padded? If you wanted to use a flash can you use them with it? I use a flash, but ...

Paula, don’t be surprised if she more than tolerates it and actually enjoys it! Be sure to treat it like clippers, run it over her body without it being on.

Re: The dusty horse
My mare hates any type of grooming spray, even if I just put it on the brush, as soon as she smells it, she scooots! I vacuumed last nite and she again loved it.

Re: The dusty horse
I have the same problem with my mare.
The dust just sticks to her.
I have tried so many different types of brushes and none get her really dust free, I also do a rub rag and it helps a little but not as much as I’d like.
I do have a vacuum and that’s the only way I can get her dust free.
