Wanstrom Horses

Thank you!

Hi,
You advised me to get a weighted twisted wire snaffle for my gelding. I am wondering where would be the best place to order from? I tried looking up some sites and only came up with twisted wire snaffles, not weighted.
Thank you!

A cowboy is often recognized by his spurs. And I know of many who have never seen a true "vaquero" spur before. By looking at these spurs, many think, jeez, those are inhumane and brutal. But people...

And now before I describe a bosal, I'd like to go into a little detail about a bosal and why they are a better training aid that rope halters. First of all, a rope halter can twist and move on the...

Thought I would share this. The term "straight up in the bridle" not only means that a horse responds very very lightly to a spade bit, but also that they know how to carry the spade. When I move my...

A bridle-horse, so to speak is the finished product of a training form used by a lot of buckaroos and cowboys. It consists of a step by step program using different bits and hackamores to get a horse...

Hi everyone!! I know I'm new to the forum, but looking through here, all I see is natural horsemanship stuff. Not that I have anything against it, but I was wondering if anyone would enjoy a timeline...

I think loose jawed leverage bits cause a lot of problems for people, and can make a horse iron mouthed faster than a solid jawed bit. People tend to "miuse" the loose-jawed leverage bit. Just...

And this folks, is why I started this thread in the first place. First of all, just because this is different doesnt mean its abuse. Second of all, I do not know what method you are refering to,...

I run across some slideshows and videos while I was listening to music on youtube. Thought I'd share them, they really dont have much to do with horse training, but they do share a insight on the way...
