Help! Had my first hack out on Comet since my accident I went out out with a friend's horse leading and my trainer leading me on a lead rein.
All went largely well. I wasn't sick, Comet didn't bolt, Other horse didn't kick Comet in the face for being to close etc = all good. Only problem was Trainer said 'I think Comet's a headshaker'. I knew it too but people kept telling me I'm wrong and he does like contact on his bit as he isn't used to being worked. Last night, though, he was really bad in the woods.
My trainer advised me to get a mask - try a full mask first that includes a nose veil and see if it improves. Having looked I can only find either face mask (no nose veil) or nose veil (no face cover).
These are the ones I've found:
Face - http://www.rideaway.co.uk/equilibrium-net-relief-riding-mask-with-ears/default.aspx
Nose - http://www.rideaway.co.uk/equilibrium-net-relief-for-head-shakers/default.aspx
Anyone know of others, or if they are ok to be used together?
