Our Gal Sal -- Fenris Oaks 2. Zatz Too Kool -- Fenris Oaks 3. Ziggy -- Springhill Stables DQ: Strawberry Gal -- Springhill Stables Comment: Best I can tell, you are using a very severe type of bit called a mechanical hackamore. The longer the shanks, the more severe the leverage of the bit as it applies pressure to the nose. That bit is illegal equipment for Cutting. See the NCHA Rulebook JUDGING RULE 16 Horses must be ridden with a bridle having a bit in the mouth or with a hackamore. All bridles on horses must have split reins. A bridle shall have no nose band or bosal and hackamores shall be of rope or braided rawhide with no metal parts.
