IF your bridle is compromised it is like the breaks and steering in your car failing at the same time, riding is a risk sport and it is dangerous enough without compromised equipment.

Riders and trainers need to understand that tack doesn’t just break, there are always warning signs. This should go without saying but every week I am asked to repair tack that is in awful condition and I wonder how people take the risk of riding in it - please change or repair your tack before it breaks!
