A Broken Snaffle I believe it is called. I have never seen it spelt. I just know what they look like when I buy them for my horses. I see most web sites call them Tom Thumbs.

A few simple strength and balance exercises should do it.  Have somebody assist you on a horse that lunges well so you can concentrate.  at a working trot count post five strides sit five strides.  To do it you're leg will have to be correct or you be late and have a hard time.  As you get better switch to post three, sit three.  Then two and two.  Also work on posting and going into your two point then drop and strech flat and reach for the ears then back into two point.  Go from two point and then straighten up reach over your head if you can then down over the neck or back to two point.  Your legs need to be correct to make these changes.  You'll learn where your center of balance is.  In a proper position your legs will not move as you switch poses or go back to posting.  Mix it up switch randomly it's very different from te eventers who have a good deal of time between obstacles.  You don't get the option to sit and reposition for each new task.  good luck

A good place to start would be the Society of the Military Horse forums.\nhttp://www.militaryhorse.org/forum/\n\nRifle saddle "holsters" are usually called rifle or carbine scabbards.

Insulated overalls, coveralls.....Steal toes are a must have on any rig.  If you have to purchase your own clothing, go with Carhart.  Do not buy cheap work clothes or boots, there is a big difference.

small and gold would be best but it's really a poor trout lure....use a trout worm or nightcrawler on a number 8 hook with a small splitshot about 8-10inches from it or a small mepps spinner would be better. Have Luck!

I think what you're thinking of is the depth of the grind - otherwise known as "Radius of Hollow" (or ROH). The deeper the hollow, the more grab you'll have on the ice.  The shallower, the easier it will be to glide.  ROH is typically anywhere from 1/2" to 5/16", but most shops I know of grind at 3/8"

The first and most popular would be the quarter horse. They have a great temperament, and are a nice smooth comfy ride

It depends what kind of riding you want to do and your horse's and your body shape. If you wanted a brand I would say Wintec. They make all-purpose, dressage, jumping, close contact, ect... All of their saddles are made of synthetic leather so they aren't damaged by the rain and can be cleaned with the hose. They also make synthetic strapping to match the saddles. All of their saddles can be used with the easy change gullet system. To get the instructions and the complete set of gullets it usually cost extra, though not always. This lets you change the width of the saddle to better fit your horse without changing the size of the saddle's seat. They even have wide width to fit bigger breeds of horses. Most Wintec saddles also come with the cair air panel system. Instead of stuffing the bottom of the saddle they fill it with air so it will fit your horse even better and evenly distribute your weight. Between the cair and the gullet system a Wintec saddle will be very comfy for your horse. It fits so well that Wintec only recommends a thin saddle pad to be used with the saddle. The Wintec saddles are also very very comfy for the rider too. Especially the Wintec 2000. I rode in that one a couple times, and I liked it so much that I will be getting one in the near future! :) Yea! The Wintec 2000, (and maybe the other models) come with blocks that Velcro under the flap so you can adjust the amount and position of the knee roll. All in all Wintecs are very high quality and very comfy for both horse and rider, they are even easy maintenance, light weight, and matching bridles, girths, and other strappings are available.

Use the same aid as you would for canter.  Once you are cantering you will need to push your horse alot more to get it in to a gallop.

Try the same thing I did.....  Go to Brunswick.com to search for a Brunswick certified pro shop that will rejuvenate your Ultimate Inferno.  I tried the same thing with my Radical Inferno and it worked like a charm!  I guess the Brunswick polish had abrasives in it, in addition to using the Brunswick rough pads and totally brought the hook and action back to my equipment.\n\nAlso now, since my bowling center is putting down more challenging oil patterns, I went to Bowlingball.com to search for some of Brunswick's Overseas International bowling balls that have more reactive hooking coverstocks, but at a cheaper price than the US releases.  I've been using an International Master Zone as my light oil ball and Radical Inferno for medium/oily conditions.  The Total Inferno is also coming out soon.....

Are you stupid? A Tom Thumb is a western bit- she's using a french link showing IN HAND so obviously, she's showing English in hand- not western. Dear Lord.\n\nAs for the original poster- seems like the horse needs to learn some respect and how to get out of your bubble. Don't go switching bits- that won't do anything. The horse should behave without a bridle, period. Work on the ground a LOT and don't tolerate any crap. I'm not telling you to beat the horse, haha, but he's coming that age where he needs to learn to respect your space.

the forend should be done with the clamp type that attaches to the magazine tube\nthe butt eend can be set up with a band type that loops around the stock with no drilling needed

From my personal experience, Hammer Bowling Balls are the way to go. From every price point, they give you a ball that performs on any condition.\n\nHaving said that, I currently use the Hawg Wild on heavy oil, the Doom Raw Hammer on medium oil, and the Switch Blade for dry lanes.\n\nIn the past month, I've had six people purchase the Raw Hammer on my suggestion while I was in my local pro shop. Having said that, I do not work in a pro shop, nor do I work for Hammer. I'm just another satisfied customer when it comes to the great products they offer.
