“A horse is a very sensitive animal. He can feel a fly land on him. You folks who have been around horses know that because you put flyspray on him in the summertime. And yet when you ride him, you ride him like he doesn’t have any feeling. You ride him with a chain curb strap, a tie-down, martingale, wires, pulleys and cables. Why? ~Ray Hunt.

Great reminder......I try to remember that personally and teach it to my daughter....I tell her all the time if you always use 5 lbs of pressure they are going to be use to that so why not use a way smaller percent of pressure, just a fingertip really....it's so easy for kids to haul around on their horses....

Thanks Jackie.
I think Ray Hunt and Tom Dorrance were probably the two wisest individuals to ever walk the face of the earth. I sure wish they were here now.
