Thank you Ken for all of your teachings about good horsemanship and the use of the bit, legaids, balance on our horses and so on. May God bless you, your family and your work. Greetings from the Netherlands. Looking forward to more of your teachings. Riet

Thank you for your demonstration and speaking the truth about the effect of a single joint snaffle on a horse's mouth. When you had your assistant put her arm up I thought ok here it comes, the Myler bit demonstration LOL. The one where they show how much better their "comfort snaffle" is. Well, there's nothing wrong with it, but their premise that without the center barrel, you're going to get the dreaded nutcracker effect is bogus. I certainly bought into it, but have since gone on to Pat Puckett's Missing Link snaffle. Anyway, thanks so much for the video.

Very interesting point about the folly of bending your horse laterally without moving its feet. Of doing it too much at least. A well known Aussie trainer does that EXCESSIVELY, and I've read it's a bad idea because you train the horse's body to "break" at the shoulder, so it is less able to bend on a smooth curve when you steer to one side or the other. Your point about keeping them moving when you bend them laterally would seem to go along with that thinking. I suppose doing a movement like shoulder in would come into this discussion, but since I don't know how to do that LOL I'll just let it go. Thanks for the video.

I love this. Needed to know about the snaffle bit more. But.....what do I do when she starts getting agitated with this and starts hopping the back bad up. Switching tail and pops her back end up like a buck.

Would this exercise be recommended for a mule? Same repetition for 20 minutes…and repeat. You know mules.
