HANDS TIPON

QUICK CHANGE

I use different bits for ring work and trail riding, but I have only one bridle. To make switching easier, I fastened a snap hook to the end of each cheek piece of my bridle by running the leather through the ring portion opposite the snap. To switch bits I simply have to release two snaps to remove the old one and snap on the new.— Cheryl Morgan, Jefferson City, Missouri
