You're too cute! I come from english and dressage background, but I'm moving over to bridle horses! You and Puckit have taught me so much. Never in a million years did I think I'd be training up a horse to progress to the spade, but now I understand!! I have very good feeling so by the time I get to it, I'm sure it'll be fine! Keep educating! Dressage jas gone in the direction of saddleseat, bridle horses are definitely the best in horsemanship as far as I can tell! Anyway thank you! ❤

Those who say the spade is cruel,dont understand the spade, how it is designed to be used or the work involved to prepare the horse for it... Therefore,, they are correct and should not use one as they would be cruel,in their hands..Ive seen much greater abuse by most,with a Snaffle..

You are correct, the spade is the highest level of compliment you can give a horse
