Western classes I use a backaniore with a leather nose band and sheepskin underneath for my two year old colt Is this cruel to htm Answer- There are two types of a or firm rawhide noseband and a mechanical consisting of firm noseband long metal checks and a curbchain The Is good For training young horses if used properly but a mechanical la quite vicious and rarely necessary except for an older horse with an Impossibly hard mouth The kind you describe Is a mechanical and is probably much too severe for your colt You can break his law with It Try him in a and he will be much more comfortable WH A rules allow the use of a bosal on a horse up to five years of age in registered classes and up to any age in open classes Mechanical are banned because of their severity Any horse requiring such control Is no pleasure horse Western games are the exception or bit both are good In the right hands Question what the correct dress for western shows and what should I wear If ever

Cartwright hat Jeans and sheepskin chaps were followed by silver- toed boots and huge spurs The outfit was completed by a silvertooled belt with empty gun holster He would leap gaily from his mounting block onto a dispirited cow pony with bony back and split hooves However only the legs of the pony could be seen under the silver spangled bridle bejewelled Spanish bit to control the savage beast
