Broke horses usually don't have the same issues as young ones wearing something for the first time do... But Bay thought I was going to kill him with it the first time I brought it up to him. Arab horses like to blow at things though... he snorts at new blankets still. And I was alone then, trying to hold him and get straps fastened at the same time.
Easier with two people.
Yeah or maybe 3 if too many people didn't spook them. Sarah Lee tensed a little when we put the strap around her leg but she stood still. She's not as wide as Okie and I have to take it up. It buckles in front and my trainer wants me to have the seams sewed together which will mean it will go over her head and then it may be a different story but I think she will be ok. Okie not as long as Sarah Lee and her's a little loose (74). The trainer said the next size down just fits him but thinks he will still fill out more as he ages so we got the same size. I'm cleaning house and Eddie remodeling. We are going out to ride afterwhile.
