Very informative. Especially like the be open and changing bits based on horse perspective.

Good info - I like that you emphasize trying a variety. thank you!

Thank you Matt. Very clear and straightforward.

If your wearing earbuds, make sure you use the left one as that's the only one his voice comes out of. You can pretty well avoid the music if you take out the right

All these trolls and second guessers!' Let's see how well their horses work (and how often) . 🐎

This video was a godsend! I might be starting a new lease on a horse that needs a bit of a refresher under saddle and need to build up some muscle. I'm definitely gonna start him in the smooth snaffle!

Thanks for the information. Very useful

Thank you for breaking that down ❤

very good advice. I'm making the transition from not liking to use bits at all to doing a lot of research on them & thinking more & more about using them. This helps me a lot. Thank you Matt. I'll save this video.

Good video, thanks for the info

Thanks Matt - very informative & helpful

your chin strap info was pretty cool for me thank you

True...and love your open mind because all horses are different just like us. Not one jacket for all of us...same with bridles. Hands...the most important. Great video.

thank you

Are use our ring Snapple I’m kind of used to it with all my two-year-old and I switch off but the stock item are usually start them in a pack more basil just to get them feeling good keep him as comfortable as possible lots of flexing just so I can work on the pole as quiet as possible

Yes I makes bridles design with sizes whatever you want , let you give me just sample of bridle….

Tried watching, but music was overdubbing the video, could not hear him.

Use a hackamore if you have the hands.

Isn't the roof sensitive because of the thin bone?

Where did you get that first bit(the snaffle)? Do you know what company? I like that one and would like to try it/order it.

Matt, what brand of bit is the one you show for the horse that is "snakey"? Do you feel like handmade bits are superior to the factory made ones?

What is that bit called that has the leather curb on it??

Ok This is no hate but does he kinda look like if tan france got a make over

Collecting bits is like collecting shoes, right ladies?!? 😂😂

Music is way too loud. The speaker is barely coming thru.

Hmmm, got a little confused by the terminology. A BIT is NOT a BRIDLE.

Nice video,still can't stop staring at the " stand up taco hat" hope that fashion is over soon.

Ever thought of a hackamore dude. I’m sorry but those r some of the nastiest bits I’ve ever seen, solving a problem by strengthening the Bit is wrong. My instructor always says change yourself not the bit, if u aren’t getting the response u want TRY A DIFFERENT METHOD not a different bit. Using a variety of techniques betters your training, just because one method works for most horses doesn’t mean it will work for all, I would know as I’ve rode lots of different horses with different levels of training

may i just ask why the horse is in the background just standing there? like put em in a stall or outside while u do it.. unless u just rode him/her or ur about to ride em.. also this isnt "how to choose the proper bridle for ur horse" this is "how to choose a bit for ur horse" even tho bits are proven to be harmful and painful for horses and they arent needed.. u could train a to be just as good if not better without a bit..

The proper bridle for the horse is no bridle at all. No metal in the mouth.

All the comments about the pain bits cause and how you can do all this without the bits, all this equipment does is give you a shortcut, when a little more time and partnership with the horse will accomplish the same thing. And to the idiot who said why are we here, to try to teach our own message to people who think like they were taught, equipment is the answer always, not bonding with your horse and doing the kind thing. Seems all these "horse trainers" think exactly alike, look in their tack room and you will see it full of harsh, cruel equipment, so they can get fancy stops and turns from the poor animal. And what is up with the head on the ground and the big fat "cowboy" on top using his spurs and high port bits that cause incredible pain to the horses, as he said, a 2 year old. Is reining just as stupid as racing using young unfinished growing horses to carry heavy riders with cruel bits and spurs so they can get a trophy? I can't believe that in this day and age animal cruelty is getting no better, but fashion reins.
