Hello, I just read some of your posts on that debate (that I thihnk got way out of hand too early on lol) and just wanted to say that I really enjoyed reading your posts. I think you have a lot of interesting things to say and look at the "whole picture" so to speak.

Looking forward to reading more, Sara

I appreciate your information.
Looks like I will have to be focus on the right home/rider rider and consider the crashed market. His welfare is more important than my pocket book.

Hello! I am kinda new to the forum, and thought I would drop in and say hello! I thought I would tell you I was reading some of your posts, and enjoyed them immensely. Take Care and stop in sometime!

If owning horses was as difficult and expensive as this thread is beginning to indicate, there would be no new horse owners. It would be something you had to be born to do. Speaking as a relative...

The 'ride the leadership' school is a ton of dog poop. No horse can run away "just as easily with a bit" because that is why bits were invented and have been used for thousands of years. And a horse...

You poop green, have frequent stomach cramps, sweat a lot and get cut on dull objects? :shock: :wink:

No chance at all! 1 - I have a low opinion of Parelli's approach to training. 2 - I don't want anyone on my property unsupervised. Inviting it is a liability case waiting to happen. 3 -...

Obviously, if the rider applies 3 lbs of pressure on the rein, then a leverage bit will result in greater pressure in the mouth. However, leverage bits also apply pressure to the poll, which is...

Sorry to hear about your horse. Good luck as you move ahead.

"BUT I do not think it is using the horses natural instincts in keeping close contact with a horses mouth (riding with a bit) and giving leg aids at the same time, naturally it tells a horse to go...
