I'm so happy I could burst! I mean, I am bursting, lol! The UPS brought something very nice for me...a bridle! Ok, ok, so it's not for me, it's for my horse. But I have been waiting to buy it forever and now I finally have it! I rode Nicki today with it and it's simply wonderful. Maybe I should tell you what it is, hehe...it's called a Bitless Bridle, which means that it doesn't have a bit like a normal bridle. It has straps that go down from the poll (behind the horse's head), cross under the chin, and go through O-rings on the noseband and connect to the reins. Anyway, Nicki loves riding with it. To give you an example, she jumped a stream that she has always walked through when I was riding her today. I'm going to bed now, I'm going to dream about riding so don't wake me up please.

A bitless bridle eh? That's an interesting concept... That's got to be very nice for the horses!
Yes, it is! :) In fact http://www.bitlessbridle.com/cat/home.html has articles on how much better it is. They list a ton of things that happen to horses that are associated to bits.
