You need to roach those manes>
I have one molly mule that I tried those bits on.Ends up,she fusses with every piece of metal I put in her mouth. Not bad, just annoying. I started her in a bosal, and now work her in a mechanical hackmore.She is a lot happier and I am for sure.
She goes down the trail now with her ears a floppin.
I know what you meant about them voting on things.
