Unfortunately, back in the 1980s, Natam was trained and ridden without the benefit of "natural" horse care and handling methods, not as popularly known at that time.  That piece of junk around his neck and chest is called a running martingale, which actually would have been unnecessary, had a different and less hurried method of training been used with Natam.  This, incidentally, is the final photo in our Fall Album, which we hope you have enjoyed !      (Clicking for the "NEXT" photo, will take you to the first photo in this presentation.  The "END DISPLAY" link will take you to the main photo album page, from which you can link to other web site sections.)
