[drivingpairs] Re: tiny pony ears

Hi,
  I drive a shetland pony tandem.  Talk about small ears and fuzzzy ponies.  
For marathon I will somethimes braid a bit of forelock and just a bit of mane 
together over the crown piece.  
  I always have a gullet strap on my wheeler when I drive my ponies tandem.  
  Happy to have gotten my tandem out twice last weekend!  Woo Hoo!

  Hi 
I'm a driver of Welsh ponies with tiny, tiny ears. A few great solutions
for keeping a bridle on any pony with tiny ears are
1) always keep the bridle path clipped. I use a surgical blade (15) to get
it very, very short and i do it often.
2) keep the chin strap a little tighter than you might on another horse or
pony.
3) use a gullet strap...runs from the caveson to chin strap and makes the
bridle fit like a halter.
