It looks to me, like the bridle is too tight on the pony. That could be why she is "smiling". Hard to tell on photos sometimes.

I'll sure give it another look when I put it on her again. One thing I know is I am not real pleased with that D-Ring snaffle. It doesn't hang straight in her mouth, the Ds are too big. It's like they use full size Ds no matter if it's on a little 4-inch pony bit.

An eggbutt would be better. Or really, a mechanical hackamore would be hard to beat on her.

Hi all, we didnt report to the sherrif, if these peoples dog doesnt ruturn one day and a report was made I just know we would lose an animal or two. Judging by the chains, they took the gunshot they heard last night (when their dog was missing( seriously, however I am going to be vigilent and will shoot to kill if it comes back.
Its all farm land around here and if you have a dog kill your livestock you kill it. The sherrif is not involved.

Your tale reminds me of when my first husband Dave took a novice land surveying with him. They were doing property disputes and this "cool" kid went into a field without looking to see what was in it first. There was a very angry bull that charged towards this skinny kid who leaped accross a 5ft high hedge, not realising that the land height differed hugely on the other side. it was 15ft lower, but not to worry he had a huge 10ft high pile of manure to cushion his fall! LOL Dave made him ride in the Back of the truck on the way home! : D
