how do they even survive in the wild?

#I’m like 99% shure red pandas survive just because the predators are like #’…I can’t. Too cute.’

Luciana Diniz and As-Taro

He is fussy with a whole bridle, so she uses a chin strap to keep the bit in place. They don’t always use this, in the jump off she had a full bridle to facilitate better control in the turns. You could tell he was much happier sans bridle.

I’ve never seen this before….it’s cool though. It just proves every horse is different

I like this. It shows much more consideration for the horse than I normally see, as I know a lot of people who would just put a bridle on anyway, not giving two shits about the horse’s discomfort. I also like the fact there’s no martingale, and if I recall correctly, As-Taro didn’t throw his head up or fuss about. So you don’t really need martingales, and sometimes I wonder if they’re superfluous. You see horses with them on but they throw their heads up anyway.. are they really doing their job?

I love that she’s riding him in just a regular Snaffle bit rather than a large Pelham and chain or any other kind of bit (not saying they’re bad bits, I ride my horse in a Pelham and love it). It’s just nice to see that he isn’t getting his face ripped on as well as they’ve got his comfort in mind. I like the whole idea of this :)

I really love this. this just makes me think, do most horses really need a whole bridle?

I like this, but I wouldn’t put this set up in just anyone’s hands. You have to maintain really steady contact or the bit is going to slam into the front teeth.

This is really interesting, we spend a lot of time getting the right bridles and bits for our horses and it’s quite frustrating sometimes, but I’ve never seen a ‘professional’ take it this minimally. This is amazing, and while it wouldn’t work for most horse-rider pairs, it’s inspirational to see someone looking after the comfort of their horse.
