The cantaloupe slice is done AFTER the horse has gone past the melon; so the blade is DECELERATING as it travels backwards while the horse is galloping forwards. This defeats the purpose of attacking while being mounted atop a charging horse.

This is one of the clearest descriptions I've seen of many aspects of the differences between the bits. Thank you! I've seen people who talked on and on, with a table or wall full of bits, diagrams, and skeleton heads, which are all nice, but they were chaotic and never clearly stated the facts. Some more elaboration on both can be added, especially curbs, but the description of a snaffle is the clearest I've seen.

Great video however…..flexion at the pole is fist achieved in a simple snaffle, along with collection. My “war pony” does everything in a simple snaffle, mounted shooting, jousting, ranch work, because seat and leg pressure were taught first in the old vaquero tradition.

6:27 you may wish to find a nicer photo of flexion at the poll; this fellow looks overbent, with his muzzle behind the vertical and the flexion appearing to be along the crest, some inches back Excellent explanation of the two types of bits, possibly the best illustration I've seen in many decades of 4-H!

You are correct that thin rope halters apply more pressure to the horses head (the poll as well as the nose). But a horse can absolutely drag a person wearing a thin rope halter. I've seen it happen. It's more painful but they will do it if they really want. And a well-trained horse (trained to yield to pressure) will not be any problem to handle in a gentler nylon halter. A horse weighs half a tonne; if you're trying to force it to do stuff by applying pain, you are in a dangerous situation. Rope halters are not bad; both halter types can be used gently and safely. But as the quote said, it's the art of the rider (and trainer) not the equipment that makes a horse safe or not.
@KateFergeson 2 ай бұрын
“Pressure motivates, the release teaches”😊 You’re so right to emphasize this. In training a horse properly, any tool can work well! I find there’s no better material than in a Parelli halter. Other rope halters are too stiff and thick to be of any use, which is probably why rope halters don’t always get their due. However, every great Horseman knows how to get their best tools. The most humane material is definitely the thin yacht rope offered by Parelli. The way this rope halter works is the following: it’s not necessarily you applying pain, but when they push into it, that causes them discomfort. Same with a bit. If anything, a rope halter used as a hackamore is more humane than a bit (but that’s another story). If a horse is pulling against you, the Parelli rope is so lightweight that if a horse wants to pull away from your leadership, it causes him discomfort… and that’s them causing themselves the discomfort. And then when they stop pulling, the discomfort ceases, so they learn that your leadership is comfortable, and to take leadership themselves against you is uncomfortable. If a horse is truly spooking, you have to use your wits and your moves and know how to work them through it, and this rope halter is the safest option in helping them calm down, mentally as well as physically. But you’re right it won’t work on everyone! I trained a mule and learned about mules firsthand. They will pull into anything once they decide to go 🫏

We use rope halters on our Friesians for most of the time, however we have a couple of nylon halters for when they are travelling as rope halters can slip and come undone from my experience which ofcourse you wouldnt want when they are in the horse transport.

One question tho, do you need to limit the movement of your hips during the cut as so not to confuse the horse? I ask this because he might understand that you want him to perfom a turn you see. Tnks for the video and sry for the Englis. Great channel, love you guys work.

Thanks. Very well done. I’ve long been interested in military history, especially US cavalry in the Civil War and the Revolution and on the Western frontier (e.g., the Buffalo Soldiers of the 9th and 10th Cavalry). Since I’m learning to ride (Western) late in life, I would be very interested in seeing more about the saddle and gear of the horseman in the Revolution; I’m fairly familiar with the McClellan saddle of the Civil War but know little of what was used in the Revolution. (The cavalryman and horse mannequins at Gettysburg’s Visitor Center give a great feel for the gear that Buford’s troops would’ve had on that key first clash on July 1, 1863, though of course they fought dismounted.)

Not gonna lie, if I was an enemy cavalryman and I realized my enemy was a woman, I would punish her for being a woman by constantly aiming for her boobs. If they're large enough, they'll be a liability in combat and a protruding target.
