Does anyone know where I can get hold of one of these in the uk? Saw Mark Rashid a couple of weeks ago and am very interested in trying it. Thanks

I think you can order it from his website.

Hi, yes I saw that but I've never ordered outside the uk, guess there's a first time for everything :)

I would think that your chances of getting it in the U.K. would be slim. It's not even available in the tack stores here.:)

I doubt you will get it here unless you buy at one of Mark's clinics. He's not back in 2007 but Kathleen is back next summer if you can wait that long ;)

They usually bring some to the clinics for sale, so i'd try Amanda Barton now the clinics have finished http://www.amandabarton.com/

iirc she sells his books and DVD's

It's a great bit - I've been using it for a year now, my horse was most offended when I tried to switch him back into his myler as an experiment - I've sold it now!

Which clinic were you at? I had my horse at the first one, and watched both of the others:D

I was at the one on the 6th Nov, frozen but spellbound. I only made the first day but so wished I could have gone to them all. Your horse was lovely! :)
Thanks for the links will have a look

Hi Halllv,

I think you picked the coldest day! Especially if you stayed around for the anatomy lecture - freezing:D But well worth it:) And thank you - I think he's pretty lovely too;)

In my opinion its easier to ride without a bit! My horse prefers it and it dosen't tear up his mouth! He is softer and calmer and I just dont see the point! If you've got a good relationship with your horse whats the need for extra metal?
