    BY FAR the best bit lesson I ever heard concerning bits. I've been fooling with horses for 68 of my 73 years. I have never, I repeat, never had such a good lesson. Thanks!

    Watch everything you post and save it to a playlist! I so appreciate the knowledge! If I move forward with the double hip surgery fandango that is planned, after recovery, I'm probably going to sell everything I have, which ain't much; drive out to Cali and see what this ole gal can do to get back on the horse again...and hopefully under your tutilage! I'll be 61 1/2 if I make it thru everything all right and ready to train horses and ride. It's been way too long. Sending much love to you and Deb! Sheri The Organic Pet Lady!

    OMG thank you so much for this video!! Definitely helped. I had been thinking of the missing link mouthpiece as "straight across" and never got that it has major built-in tongue relief. I'm currently reading Ed Connell's book on bridles and bits, which ties right into this discussion. Thank you again for this video. BF

      @@epona9166 I think These Were the Vaqueros would be the one to start with. Most of his books are historical in nature. Not really handbooks for horsemanship. But in reading the stories, you can gain insights into how horses were trained and ridden in those days. Rojas and Connell didn't see eye to eye with regard to horsemanship. I believe that Rojas thought that Connell had too much of a Texas style of riding and not a truly Californio style. But this might be just heresay.

    Very informative lesson. I always learn something . My 27 years old loves his missing link snaffle, and i know that beause when I present him with the bridle, he reaches for the mouth piece. I would love to try him in your western bit . Would that help with getting him into self carriage? Much love from Tatamagouche.

    • @PatnDebPuckett
      @PatnDebPuckett  4 месяца назад +2

      It would help you to ride off of your body rather than off of the horse's mouth and that will help you ride in collection and self carriage.

    This is a very timely discussion for me…. Forgive me but I’d like to get this straight: The port is to a) prevent the horse from positioning its tongue over the mouthpiece and b) as a means of tongue relief and a spade or spoon is a point of contact with the tongue for signaling? In either case of a ported mouthpiece or spade bit, the form is designed so as to lay for the most part parallel to the horses tongue? I’m playing separately with Myler bits and trying to best understand why a horse prefers one ‘form’ over another. As it relates to the function of the curb strap, I’ve heard you mention that you look for roughly a 30 degree deflection for the strap to make contact from its nominal position in the horses mouth. Is that a good general rule of thumb for ported and spooned bits? thanks
