Thank you so much for this. Please make more of these?

Love this video thank you for explaining how to adjust your headstall and how the bit should sit in the mouth. Too many want to have a bunch of wrinkles (making the horse"smile") when they really don't need it.

Yes, getting the 'wrinkles' was a long-held tradition but a bit that's too tight (snaffle especially) can't work to it's maximum effectiveness if the horse can't feel the weight of the reins pick up and release as much, which is inhibited if the bit is always drawn up tight to the corners of their mouth.

What kind of bit would you recommend for a Tennessee Walker that barrel races?

I’m having a problem with my horse stopping fast. I know that everyone tells me ground work but I have done a tone of ground work you say woah and she stops on a dime put a saddle on her and a rider.. yeah it’s a different story. Any advice you could give me the better

I have a questions, My horse uses a snaffle bit. But she jerks her head when going around the barrels. I don't use spirs. But when I use my legs she doesn't listen. I might be giving her mixed signals, so I try to only make one movement at a time. But when I'm going around the barrels. Since I only make one movement. It ends up being late. So she runs into the barrel of doesn't turn in time. Any suggestions..?

See my videos on "fights the first barrel" and bits for the "hard to please horse," you can search these topics at www.BarrelRacingTips.com. In these cases, it's not about the bit, it's more about the way we've prepared and educated our horses to respond to our hands and what we ask. ;)
