More About Bits: Different Types of Snaffles (Episode 104) - Herm Gailey

I love how he announces an o ring snaffle multiple times while picking up a different bit every time lol

I was perplexed by your comment and went back and reviewed the video. I simply did not do what you suggested I did:misidentify the various types of bits I was talking about. I stand by my identification of all the bits in the video. Your comment is completely inaccurate. .

Great info. My Greg Darnell Don Dodge is my go to snaffle. I also have one of the weighted loose ring snaffle. For me it works good for horses that start off feeling what I call "drafty". Steering like a draft horse.

Thank you for explaining this! I’ve always had lots of questions about bits and this explained some of my questions very well. Thanks!

I have a couple of full cheek snaffles and stopped using them because I worried about them catching on something. Then later I heard that story from Buck Brannaman. Never dreamed that one of the places they could catch on was a human nostril. Ewwww!

[@hermgaileyalifetimewithhorses]

Thanks for your comment. Ever since I heard that story a full cheek snaffle evokes the same response in me!

The best bit is no bit at all.

Fair enough. To each his own. Peace be with you.
