Do Elves ride saddle-less on horseback?

&%#@! I just posted and it gave me an error message. :-p So I'll try again.

I doubt an Elf would use a curb, if they used anything, it would be a hackamore or have a very light snaffle. And remember, hackamores arn't only western, quite a few English riders use them too, especially while jumping. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

As for the curb in the movie, most people watching don't know one bit from another. Movie people can get away with that kind of stuff. What drove me crazy was when Arwen was asking Asfaloth <sp> to go faster, she wouldn't give him his head. :-p If only I could figure out how to become a stunt rider/stand in person. :-p
