Re: Micklem bridles

Tanga, they are not a drop noseband. From the directions, it is to sit 2-3 inches above the corner of the mouth. I haven’t ridden in it yet, but I’m hoping she likes 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.
