yeah.....

the flash strap worked! only had the synthetic one and had to put a new hole in it and didn't have a keeper, but it worked. she was much better. it kept the bit in place andpretty much kept her mouth shut . hadn't put the hole in the right place (it's very hard to put a hole in a synthetic strap!) but even so it was so much better.

only in the arena as there wasn't anyone going out, and i wanted to try it of course in the confines of a safe space!

but i was pleased.

i've decided the sit tights are perfect for hacking but a bit too sticky for flat work.....

The stick tights surely do stick.

The best way to put a hole in synthentic is to heat a nail over a flame---hold it over the fire with an insulated pair of pliers or with pliers and a hot mitt on--and then burn the hole in the strap with the hot nail.

Sounds as if you are on to something, though. If you can get Molly to stop playing with her jaw it will help you gain a steadier contact and hand which, in turn, will help your balance. Here's hoping the progress continues.
