    I got my Western Bit yesterday and put it on my five-year-old this evening. He's been a bit picky about what I put in his mouth, but he accepted this bit readily and carried it with no complaint. Thanks.

    Thank you for producing a quality product that some of us prefer to use over cheap inferior options. I don’t like the Chinese garbage at most stores these days. Nice to see I’m not the only one who feels that way. I will be ordering the western bit asap.

    Still love my "Pat's western bit"!! After 2 seasons in missing link snaffle and time to install cues, little 23% Poco Bueno mare bridled up beautifully in self-carriage and is a little one-handed wonder with immediate respect, maturity, and control. Still grinning!! Others who have been riding in snaffles and others should really feel this, seems magical to have a good horse respond to skeletal and indirect cues with minimal signal from hands and loose reins! Not a real cowboy but push some cows and Boer goats with some trail riding. Thanks, Pat!

    Can pat do a video on the difference of short and long shank bits?

    • @tw_neo708
      @tw_neo708 Год назад

      Short shank bits have less leverage. A leverage bit works like a lever. There's a lot of sources online explaining different shank styles.

  • @epona9166
    @epona9166 6 месяцев назад

    What is the purpose of the chains at the ends of the shanks? You see leverage bits with nothing between the shanks, some with chains, and some with flat solid pieces of metal (like a Sliester). I'm assuming the flat solid pieces are for bits where the cheeks are hinged at the mouthpiece, so they don't move too much. Your bit isn't hinged so you wouldn't need a solid piece. But why chains as opposed to nothing? And why two chains as opposed to one? Thanks so much!

  • @twowheeledworld

    Hi Pat. I have a question on that western bit can you take his head away if he spooks like you can in a snaffle bit?

    • @PatnDebPuckett
      @PatnDebPuckett  Год назад +1

      No you can’t do a one rein stop. You should be past that phase when you ride in a western bit. That said, you can shut a horse down by pulling back and using the leverage aspect of this bit.

    Please talk same more about the cricket' what are we missing out on, if my horse and I didn't learn to ride Western.

    • @PatnDebPuckett
      @PatnDebPuckett  Год назад +2

      The cricket allows you to listen for the sound and understand your horse's state of mind. If he's working the cricket non-stop, it's either a new and novel thing for him or he's nervous. If he never works the cricket, he is braced in his mouth and jaw. If he works the cricket intermittently, that's a good thing. It can also reflect whether you are nervous or relaxed. If your horse is working the cricket anxiously and you relax your body, exhale, and touch him on the neck, you might be able to influence him to stop rolling the cricket. The main advantage of riding western is that you ride with one hand which forces you to use your body rather than your hands to communicate with your horse.

    Would you please share what the size of the mouthpiece of your western bit is on the black horse
    Do most quarter horses fit in the 51/4 mouthpiece
    Was wondering if the black horse wears the 5 1/4 or 5 1/2
    Just for comparison

      Cinder is wearing a 5 1/4" but we recommend you measure your horse's mouth to determine the best size. Here's the original video showing how we measure: ruclips.net/video/4M98iGLQ1LU/видео.html

      Sure it can. Whatever you feel comfortable using. The romal, however, is only used when you don't ever need to offset your hand like you can with the split reins.

    Why even have the wheel on there? Our finished horses just used something with no wheel and a little less bend on the mouth bar. Breaking horses it was snaffle. If the horse was very hard to get mouth and head control we go twisted wire. But only for training. Goal was ride loose rein and one handed. But of course I love seeing how others do things. I love how your horses really have some training that is nuanced but very practical.

    • @PatnDebPuckett
      @PatnDebPuckett  5 месяцев назад

      The cricket encourages the horse to relax his tongue which causes his jaw to relax. The higher the port the more signal is possible. We never use twisted wire on a horse because we want our horses to respond to and be controlled by pressure not pain. I would challenge you to lay that twisted wire snaffle across the palm of your hand and have someone pull on the rings. Now do the same thing with a solid bar. Which one would you prefer in your mouth? We also ride with one hand but we want our horses in collection and self carriage when they're doing a job.

    Do y’all ever use chain curb straps?

    • @PatnDebPuckett
      @PatnDebPuckett  Год назад +2

      Yes. As Pat stated in this video, curb straps are used on ALL western bits. That's how they work. If you don't have a curb strap, all you're doing is turning the bit over in the horse's mouth causing him to gap his mouth open and pulling on the corners of his mouth.
