When I'm training young horses still in the snaffle I always use a mecarte (sp). Things I like about the mecarte-- *I like the roper riegn set up *I like that I can easily adjust the length of the riegn *I love that I can take the long end and and loop it through my belt so when I get thrown I still have my horse. *I like the feel of the horse hair rope *I like the pricklyness it puts on the horses neck which helps teach him to move off the riegn. Heres my question... is there any set up on can use to use a mecarte with a curb bit? On the snaffle you use slobber straps to hook the mecarte to the bit... on a curb that would not really work. I'm just kinda thinking out loud here but there are some things about mecartes I would like to use on my curb bits. |
