Let me quote what I wrote about the drawing which was based on this photo: Heh, I can't get ovet this attitude "I'm gonna love you, but I'm gonna make you feel pain if you disobey..." People are fascinating with their subliminal, inherent cruelty.
I still stand for it.
The quality of the photo is very good though.

Thats so true unfortunately... its always so gut wrenching to see photos of rollkur, white open mouths, anxious eyes and so much more and people cheer "oh my god thats so gorgeous!" a horses beauty sure is his biggest curse :<

Do you happen to be one of Rick Gore's listeners on youtube? 
Sadly, it's almost impossible to educate people. They have to want to change themselves.
Suddenly I rememered a line from Princess Mononoke: "I want to see with the eyes unclouded by hate". Here we could say the opposite: I want to see with the eyes unclouded by love.

Haha I am! 
He sure had a huge impact on me too, I always took everything as "normal" (not everything, as a kid I always questioned metal in an animals mouth) and the more I watched the more critical I become. And the more critical I become the more I started to see sorrow and misfortune souls. Its so sad that most horses are just "tools" - tools to get money, ribbons, trophies... its horrible :<
And that phrase, I love it. Imagine how much could change if people actually cared and took off their pink glasses

Nice to see how influential Rick is! Hopefully there will be more people standing up for a Horse.
About the pink glasses though, I understand not wanting to put them off also. There is just so much misery and pain (I could go on for hours about, let's say, inhumane practices regarding fishing), people actually prefer being unaware. And it's also healthy not to bear all the world's problems on your shoulders... It's just something you learn as you get older, I guess. There has to be a balance

No, I don't, but you can find it on ebay. Search for "silver heart bit" and you should get something. I know it comes in both a snaffle and a curb. Good luck!

I have a snaffle like this. <3 I saw it on a online catalogue, and I was all "*-* Must buy! <3"

Super cool shot! I wish they made snaffles like this; I don't like the action of curbs.

actually, it's available as a snaffle.

-gasp- Really?! Do you know where I could get one?!

i've seen them on ebay, but my suggestion is to just search for one online until you find it.

Ah, rodeo bling. Lovely shot. Shame the horse was grungy though. Kind of kills the flashy part. Silly people. XD
