if your carriage hs brakes, you can do without the breeching entirely... not the path i'd recommend for everyday - but a thought if you want to try things out before buying a whole bunch of stuff. Why were you thinking you need diff bits for the pair? (from orig query) My only doncern wi bits has been my fussy girl likes to rub her nose when she has to just stand, and a couple times has nearly had the O of the snaffle caught on the crab. TGIF !!

This strap makes the breaching work. Without this they would not be able to slow the carriage down without this. They could only slow it down with the pole attachments. _________________________________________________________ To Unsubscribe, change to Digest or Vacation mode go to: http://www.drivingpairs.com/dpmem.html ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` _________________________________________________________ To Unsubscribe, change to Digest or Vacation mode go to: http://www.drivingpairs.com/dpmem.html `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
