I'm in NW Washington State just now starting to ground drive my mini
and Shetland. I use open Dr. Cook bridles that have no crownpiece
rings to run side checks through, and I prefer not to use the
blindered bridle. Does anyone else here drive with an open Dr. Cook
BB that has figured out how to attach side checks? It is a huge issue
when working the ponies on the grass. After rigging up an awkward
sash cord version I was able to experience what great ponies they can
be. Ideas?
