Visit our our FORUM at http://drivingpairs.activeboard.com/ and our WEBSITE at www.drivingpairs.com Helen, Thanks for your input. I wasn't actually planning on buying any bits until, as you mentioned, I have a better idea of where we are headed. Right now my ponies are happy with what I am using. My question was more to determine the correctness of turnout for show ring purposes. Somewhere, I thought I read there was specific attire, harness, bitting, etc. for the type of horse, vehicle you drove (country vs. formal, etc.). Driving is such a tradition bound sport that I want to make sure I am on the right path. Thanks again, Heidi "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" _________________________________________________________ To Unsubscribe, change to Digest or Vacation mode go to: http://www.drivingpairs.com/index.php?pg=2 `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
