I liked the thinner gloves the best - but they are usually more expensive! Since you like to have your finger tips free, you might try getting some fairly tight fitting work gloves, with a mesh backing to keep your hands cool, and simply cut off the finger tips. <br />I think you have to wear brown gloves in driving competitions - so you may as well get used to them!<br />Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113432418609414054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466005644305586407.post-46198423346559922472012-11-11T18:18:04.998-05:002012-11-11T18:18:04.998-05:00WOW, both Mom and Me are really impressed.

All right, Shyloh! She...Well-a-day, lookit her go. All right, Shyloh! She's got a very mannerly attitude about line driving. At least at the walk (have you asked for any speed yet? I can get Mitch to jog slow, but I'm a lazy ass and don't wanna keep it going for long)<br /><br />Pushing along nicely, I'd say. I'm really looking forward to getting Mitch back in harness and actually get him hitched up to the cart that's been parked by my hay shed for the last month. We were at a stalemate because of the breastcollar being broken, so finally I just threw in the towel. I can't repair it, I don't know who could, and I don't know if the rest of the harness is going to be any good if such a tiny little part can break, I'd worry if a major part would. Measurements were taken yesterday, he's definitely a cob-sized. We're getting a Liberty harness from Amber Hillside (formerly Ron's Harness) that will ship on Tuesday. It's nylon, but well put together with lots of good reviews with an economically affordable cost. It'll hold us out till I can afford to get a biothane harness.Leihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05503579118629251506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466005644305586407.post-40540851640078849132012-11-11T17:07:36.552-05:002012-11-11T17:07:36.552-05:00Sometimes we just can't figure out what trigge...Sometimes we just can't figure out what triggers their little melt-downs.
