...from the vaquero series of videos...

Saludos desde Alta California. El motivo de este comentario es porque lo quiero felicitar por esta explicación que es ¡EXCELENTE! Muchas Gracias por hacer este vídeo tan sencillo y corto pero tan bien explicado y con mucha lógica. Todo lo que dice tiene mucha lógica, mucho sentido y creo que es correcto. Solo para añadir a su explicación, este tipo de freno desde mi punto de vista no es un freno que se recomiende para caballos de competición porque los jinetes de competición pueden lastimar a los caballos. En cambio un vaquero que trabaja con su caballo y cuida de los animales puede tener mayor delicadeza en la manera en la que usa este freno con su caballo. Me gusto mucho este vídeo Gracias 🇲🇽

I've always considered a spade bit the PhD level of training.. for both the horse and rider! I'm still in community college, but I really appreciate the training involved at this level.

I remember my first impression of the spade. I really thought it would be an agressive bit.after years of using them i understand how they work and their effectiveness. Maybe one way to explain part of their effectiveness would be mass or volume. They dont put al lot of pressure on any point to cause pain but when they are engaged the horse will notice and respond accordingly. I love them and so do my horses.

Well said! Thank you for your input.

Anybody who would use a spade bit or any other kind of severe bit like that on a horse, is an abuser doesn't know what they're doing, has no understanding or compassion for the animal, and has no right or having anything to do with them. Abuse is abuse

I would highly recommend you do a lot more research, then circle back to your comment.

You are remarkably ignorant.
