Flash buckle?

Heavenly Jumper · 06-30-2008, 07:23 AM

When you do up your flash, where do you have the buckle? I leave mine under the chin groove. I notice it on the top or sides in some other people's pictures.

Does it matter?

I put it here:

(In this photo, the bottom keeper has moved. I try to have the keeper close to the bottom of the chin, so the flash wraps around.)

I do mine on the side so I can tuck the excess under the loop on the noseband. I do it do just the tip of the excess tucks under.. so I think that makes it on the lower side, that is what I was taught to do since I don't have the extra little keeper. Of course that would change if it was irritating the horse.

I do this when I have lost the second keeper... which is on about 1/2 of my bridles!

Yep I just was editing my post to say why

I put mine where No1Dazy does.

Exactly the same as how No1Dazy does hers, lol. That's just how I was taught!

I just remembered another reason why I do mine backwards (I guess it would be backwards) is that when I walk them out with the flash undone the flash sometimes falls out, if you do it the other way, the buckle seems to go the middle and not fall out.

Me too, I use a figure eight most of the time.
