I recently read in another forum where someone had posted about riding in a halter and how sloppy, imprecise, and "un-delicate" it is to ride in a halter.

As I read this thread I think to myself 'if that is the extent of your horsemanship and knowledge...' lol- Which many of us here is appears, have a few more cells in their brains. I have seen some pretty dern' (what can I say) wonderful, precise, supple, beautiful, fluid movements in riding with a halter or no head equipment at all. A few of these riders/trainers were dressage riders teaching their horses Olympic level movements.

I have seen horsemen/women who ride with halters, with more obedient, willing, and more well-trained horses than me myself when I ride in a bridle lol... (hehe, great place to put myself as most of the horses I ride are young and green)
