just a question, why such a severe bit? he looks a nice old chap :) The rider is soft with her hands thankfully, she and the horse look like they're having fun!
Im guessing your into eventing, do you event this horse at local ODE? He looks fun, hed do well :)
He is a 15yr-old ex flat racer, real gentleman. Do mostly XC and hacking with a bit of SJ. Bit is just cos he can get very strong in snaffle and need him to stop before leaving fields when hacking. Also he will actually go 'on the bit' with the Pelham but just sticks his head in the air with a snaffle - there is some video of him racing when he was "Bee Health Boy". My 13 yr-old daughter just took him to Pony Club for a laugh and he was really good, bless him.
