We had a few wet moments but they didn't dampen our spirits, and opportune sunny spells more than made up for them. Thank you to Jessica, for the great photography; Liz, for introducing Monty to the Connor Pass and beyond; and Diana, for the inspirational perseverance.

Many of our horses are now ridden in bitless bridles, and we have come to the conclusion that they work better, and are happier, without a bit in their mouth. Whether on a forward going or steadier horse, on the beach, on the mountain or in the riding school, in competition and show-jumping, we feel our horses are more comfortable and just as responsive in the bitless bridle in comparison to with a bit. The bridles we use are based on the cross-pull design, I make these bridles myself, please visit my website also at http://www.uiscesaddlery.blogspot.com/. Come riding with us to try one out
To Katy, Elaine & all at Dingle Horse Riding [including dogs, cats & ponies],
