I spent a really limited amount of time in stalls (mainly because my sister was really into horses and sometimes they let me ride the small ones) but I seem to recall at one point someone talking about halters and how both people and horses have different preferences for how it should be put on, and it also depends on the style/type of halter. Maybe I misremember completely, but doesn't feel too out of place that they'd have different preferences and ways of doing things if you're comparing Eastern ways and Western ways.
- beedeebeedee 2y agoYeah, and even no halter. No offense to the parent commenter, but things like dressage are driven by defining "right" and "wrong", in order to create an in-group and out-group, and not necessarily to create better riders. You can ride a horse bare back, and in some cases, it really is better than with a saddle (and other accoutrement).
- Suppafly 2y agoPresumably it was 'wrong' in that it was placed in a way that wouldn't work at all, IE objectively wrong not just subjectively wrong.
- PaulHoule 2y agoSpecifically one of the straps was twisted 180 degrees before it was clipped on. It certainly looks wrong although I don't imagine it creates distress for the horse.
