How long has it been since these shoes were put on?
Celia and I rode, we ran into a couple of other ladies that we know and sat and visited with them for about 30 minutes so our actual ride time was probably only 2 hours. We did do one 1 mile trot. It was great. Harley kept wanting to break to a lope, but would rate back down easily, and did NO head throwing. All this makes me think I am on the right track with the bit:). He just does not need any curb chain action at all.
I didn't get any pictures of the ride, sorry, but I did take one of him tied to my trailer. Now that the tack room door is fixed, I moved the trailer over a bit so I could tie to it. I've been wanting to do this because the tree I tie too is dead, we've talked about it. I think this is going to work great. I can see him from the house. I blocked the tires good with cinder blocks.
