It’s less cumbersome or likely to get caught on stuff. Horses at this stage are somewhat irresponsible with their heads and this keeps them out of trouble while they learn while they learn to pack a bit.

Although Mr. Sandifer may not be as technically or scientifically specific regarding the spade bit, its contribution to collection, and his horses' movements, he is spot on. Dr. Deb Bennett of the Equine Studies institute has written the best technical and scientific explanations of the spade bit and collection I have read. Mr. Sandifer has developed this knowledge the traditional way by observing and feeling the horse's response. What Mr. Sandifer said about the horse raising his neck for collection was spot on. This severity classification of bits is hogwash and marketing to sell bits. One needs to extract the principles of the bit's design and the intended occupation (an limitations) of the horse to decide upon the proper bit for the horse. These bits and western reinsman riding style were never intended for the weekend warrior. A great video. Thank you.

I have a question, I’m a young and lightweight female and while I am strong I can be thrown around easily when my horses throw fits. I almost never fall off but it happens to everyone if you ride horses enough. I don’t know if I could handle a full on bucking session from my girl (12yr old wild horse) and if I couldn’t I would hate to teach her that bucking will stop the ride whenever she wants. So would it be a good idea to put a weight in the stirrup and possibly saddle to get her used to that feeling before I personally get on her?

Some years ago I attended a benefit at the fort worth equestrian center sponsored by ray hunt to raise money for tom dorances wife after he passed. Got the thrill of my life to shake toms hand and to thank him for helping so many of us to understand and train our horses. Buck was there and a whole group of Tom Dorances students. Many horses have this whole group of trainers to thank for a deeper understanding of what a true leader can do once your mind is open to new ideas. To all you followers of Tom and Ray thank you for keeping the movement alive for younger folks to latch onto.

Oh, Hi ignorant anonymous person on the internet. What if we have to spend the night on the trail, work a branding, stand at a trailer, stand on a high line. My horses are WITH ME! They do what I do. If that requires them to wait and be patient so be it. They get fed and watered as needed and they move as needed. That’s part of a working partnership with an animal that IS NOT A PET.

If you have good hands almost any good bit will work. It's usually not the bit it's who is holding the reins. You can revere the old history and that's all fine and good but if you watch most past videos of the old cowboys they really weren't all that good as reinsmen compared to the masters of today. Although probably a tougher working breed of cowboy those of old times when men were men and cowboys were real deal. Like any trade or sport we all evolve usually for the better (except for the sport of reining with the new peanut pusher hoover vacuums they call horses). A master of today can get better results from a snaffle bit than the masters of yesterday in the spade. A broke horse is a broke horse and will work in most any bit when it's all said and never completely done. Yes I own a spade and use it here and there. Don't get stuck in the past or the future will pass you by. It's all in good hands..... Do you have the time?

Although I agree with many of your points there are some that one might want to reconsider. Actually, the spade bit is one of the oldest bits. They date back before 1200 B.C. Talking about turning back history. It is a rough and crude bit that has caused more damage to horse's mouths than any other bit. I suggest reading Rojas, Arnold R. Bits, Bitting and Spanish Horses. Alamar Media, Inc., 2010. Mr. Rojas was a horsemen raised in the Spanish vaquero style. In reading his many books one will also learn that even the Vaqueros did not mostly ride the spade bit. Cowboys rarely rode spade bits, but they were not "masters" by any stretch of the imagination. They often used high ported bits such as the half breed. But not the spade. Deb Bennett, PhD. Conquerors, The Roots of New World Horsemanship. Amigo Publications, 1998 is an excellent reference on the subject of the spade bit. Many of the "masters" of today go to the Spanish Riding School and learn to ride the classical Jimenta style. Ed Connell. Reinsman of the West: Briddles and Bits explains the training necessary for getting a horse in the spade bit. Few people take the years required to train both themselves and to find the one in a hundred horse that is adaptable to the spade bit. I couldn't agree with you more about the current reining competitions of today. The reason for the spade bit is about the collection obtainable with the spade bit using only one hand while performing work with the other. No other bit will accomplish that, with the small movement of the hands.

Spades do not cause damage in the proper hands. Damage can be caused in a hackamore and a snaffle as well. I get your point though.@@sirronmitt

I'm a midlle-aged horse woman from Michigan who grew up in open shows and the Quarter Horse world. And I hated the spade bit because I watched so many riders with beautiful mounts so far beyond my financial means who ruined them weekend after weekend jerking behind the judges back trying to get the horses nose to the ground. Now, as in so many things equestrian, I realize that it isn't the bit, it is the rider using the wrong tool incorrectly. Thanks for this! I have the time now and the experience to value re-education and plan to learn more.
