Just had to share! :) Brave is doing Great ! Poor boy I had no bit that fit him till yesterday. He needs a 6 inch bit all I had was 5 inch. I was riding him in a Little S bit which he did ok in but yesterday his new bit arrived. :clap: I got him a Loose ring French link snaffle. At first he wasn't sure he liked it but after a short while he relaxed and rode great with it. He is awesome at flexing. We have been doing some Clinton Anderson exercises. :) Brave even knows how to side pass. :cool:

I am planning on taking some lessons with him this Fall. I wasn't going to at first. After loosing Prize I lost my interest in lessons. I felt that was Prize and my thing but now that I have bonded some with Brave this last month I have changed my mind and want to take lessons again with the same trainer.

Poor hubby I keep buying him horses only to take them over. :p Which he doesn't mind to much he only rides when we trailer out to trail ride so someone has to keep the horse fit. :innocent:

Glad you are bonding and had a great ride! I wish I could bond better with mine, I can't stop thinking about Dommie. I did get a French Link for Rompy, he seemed to hate his other bit so I got him a different kind his foster mother advised. I haven't tried it on him yet though. Hope he likes it.

Have fun with Brave! I took over my man's horse too, he hardly ever rode her, she rides the best of the 3 so now she's mine!!!!

Thanks everyone. :) Sorry I didn't get any pictures :doh:

Oursarge I hope your boy likes his French link. Brave wasn't sure at first but in no time was relaxed and really seemed to like it.
