More confirmation that I just need to leave FaceBook alone.
The group for beginning carriage driving I have been a part of for a few years now apparently added a rule against bitless driving because it is "not safe."
They deleted my comment on a post asking about a harness maker.
I screenshot the notification.

I am rolling my eyes so hard. I thought about sending the moderator a message who deleted the comment and then I'm like. Is it really worth my time to argue about a stupid rule change on a Facebook group that just alienates people?
You know what annoys me the most? This is a YEARLING, he is tied to a fence and he isn't even pulling anything and my whole comment was endorsing the harness maker (who is all types of fabulous). No mention about the headgear.
Someone did ask about the bridle and I commented back about that so maybe that drew the ire of the moderator, but I was careful to note I use it (primarily) on young horses wih growing mouths to introduce the rein aids, what is unsafe about that? These are things I would have brought up in a message, but you know ...
Whatever.

So I reposted my comment and edited the picture so it was "appropriate." There I go being passive-aggressive. I don't do it often, but it's in there. I have better things to do with my time, but I did want to be sure my endorsement for this company remained because Parry Harness and Tack IS awesome.
In other news I cantered Ludo the Friesian today. He leans a bit to the inside and was confused for a second (you want me to what?) but we got it and there was much grinning. His owner was pretty pleased with how he looked and thought I rode it well. My thighs have been telling me about it, though that could also be all the trotting we did too. I think his canter will be easier to sit than his walk and I'm trying to decide how many horses I have ridden with bigger canters.
Remmy is probably going to stay another month. His harness is on order and I'm about ready to introduce the cart.
