Actually two separate threads rolled into one!
Who is riding in this heat? I bailed out of a pub ride yesterday as me and Angel got bitten all over by horse flies on Saturday and now I am all lumpy and swollen. I actually feel a bit mean riding her in this weather. Our school is like an oven (can't hack out as have the kids with me in the evenings.) Am I being ridiculously soft?
And I'm thinking of getting her a Micklem bridle. I wanted to buy her a nice bridle as hers are both a bit crappy and ill-fitting and I like the sound of the Micklem one which has been designed for sensitive horses. Bit worried I won't be able to work out how to put it on her! Any thoughts on these?
