    Hey everyone! I'm soon approaching that point with my 4 y/o mare where I would like to start getting her used to a shanked bit. She works really nicely in a snaffle and bosal, and is neck reining like a champ. But as most of you know, for western show classes once a horse is over 5 they are...

    I have seen people using lip straps on Pelham's. And I have heard many things about what they can do. from keeping the curb chain down, to keeping the horse from chewing the shanks. I have also heard about horses that chew the shank rings, have in some cases, gotten their incisors stuck on...

    Hi, pls read maybe you recognise a condition or injury. I am particularly baffled by the large lump which hasn't changed in a week or more. I moved my horse to a paddock a few months ago and she was doing ok. About more than a week ago her near hind fetlock was swollen and had wind galls. a...

    While my boy will probably be in a snaffle for awhile, I was wondering at what point in a horse's training is he ready for a leverage bit or a curb?

    I have a 6yr old APHA mare that is broke broke broke and this Spring I am starting her for Reining. She has an amazing natural stop, good turns, quick back ups, and a wonderful topline etc. She seems to be a natural and I think she will do wonderful. I have had her in a copper snaffle...

    There isn't a thread yet on bits and their use, so thought I'd start one! I am adopting a 4 yr old mare, who has been professionally trained but not actually ridden in some time, and even then not often. I want to get a bit for her that will give me control (I ride light handed) but NOT be too...
