I love how your horse is just watching the world go by and thinking "I don't need stopping, I'm perfectly calm" :)

One question though - is the noseband on the outside of you horse's cheek pieces? If so, why? (surely it's not really safe? Or is it because it's a full cheek snaffle and you have yet to get the holders that attach to the cheek pieces to stop the bit from rotating in the horse's mouth?)

[horseproblems]

@hannahbananaroxsox No Hannah, that is just a Cavesson Nose Band that was on the Bridle. (Not my Horse) The Full Cheek Snaffle I am using does not need Keepers. I have never used them in my Life. T am guessing that is a BHS tradition???? Don't know but it is not needed. Kind Regards

What if the horse just goes through it? With his head turned and everything? Won't disengage his hindquarters at anything above a walk. And will continue to do as he pleases, even as off-balance as he is with his head turned to the side. I would stop and reteach him about his hindquarters but he isn't my horse. I just ride and exercise him. He is getting amazingly better and only bolted twice today. (that is awesome for him lol) But I want to be prepared for the "just in case".

[horseproblems]

@4everAndEverAmen Then I would get his 'Leg Yielding' better, in which case you should be able to disengage his hind quarters but plus, you then even go the opposite rein and turn it into a training opportunity of teaching or completing the 'counter bend' Regards

I'm sitting right here at the moment, with a note book just jotting down so many points from your videos.

They are easily understood, and i can easily see the sense in the reasons in your methods. :)

Thankyou for this oppotunity of some proper horse education :)

I have ridden and tested many Halter Mouthed and side pull Horses. They do not rate against the Bit Mouthed Horses. Similarly, you can rarely stop a Bucking Horse with a Halter. I wouldn't even go there. I value my life too much.

Go to my latest video of the real world and you will see the proof of the Bitted system. Regards

i really appreciate this advice for my own riding, but during the summer i work at a horse camp where we take kids 6-12 on rides...the horses that are available for the kids can be very mischievous and we don't have enough time or people to teach all the horses proper groundwork;additionally most of the children are riding for the first time. what should i teach them to do if their horse takes off? can the one rein stop be effective for a first time rider and a horse that doesn't have that exp.?

This video is very very very helpful. I ride a horse who will turn and bite, kick and bolt just to avoid doing what you want him too xD

@horseproblems I've never really seen a full cheek snaffle without the keeper things - I've seen a couple of Fulmer snaffles without them, but they're a lot shorter than the full cheek. But then again, I don't see many of these bits around nowadays about 10 years ago when I was still riding at a riding school about five of the horses had them.

He seems to go lovely either way :)

I had a racing arab that liked to take off with me, and start bucking, Learned this years ago, and It worked like a charm on him. Glad someone is showing how to correctly do this!

[horseproblems]

@horseproblems Thanks Kickin. Learnt that about 40 Years ago but thanks anyway

you can't expect a horse to react the way you want without a conditioned response

one rein stops have saved my life countless times and continue to do so today but you must prepare your horse so that they disengage their hind quarters before hand once they find relief they look for it always
