(Thank you so much it means everything to me and allows me to continue producing content.)
I live in Australia and we have massive bushfires here all the time. I had a friend who used to own a large stable (not anymore it was burnt down and they are still rebuilding). Before the fire was even visible, the horses started freaking out and pacing in their stalls and pastures. My friends mother (the owner) raced down to the stables (towards the fire) and spray painted her phone number on every horse, then set it free. 3 days later, she received a phone call from a police station 30 kilometres away from her stable, telling her they had found a herd of horses with bright red phone numbers emblazoned on their sides. Unfortunately, she had to sell most of the horses, only keeping 2 and housing them in another stable, because they lost so much in the fires.
Just goes to show that if all else fails, let your horses go! They are intelligent animals with better senses than us, and have a far better chance of staying safe if they all know each other and have been out in pasture together.
Thats amazing!
she is a genius
Jade yes it is true and i can imagine I live in Canada so about the worst I could probably get for really big damage like that would be a fire, tornado, and flooding when it rains and i hope they ( your friends and their mom) can rebuild it and have a wonderful day
That's amazing, did all of them stay together? If they did that's even more incredible.
@@uv_lexi yep, all of them stayed together, most likely because they regularly went on trail rides and were socialised together the days they lived at that stable. Herding instinct probably kicked into gear too :)
you know whats weird? i had someone criticise the fact that i was riding my horse in a *snaffle bit* . the next day i tried out riding my horse in a halter and leadrope, and the SAME woman scoffed at me and asked why i was riding in a halter. i don't have a problem with bits, but it just shows that no matter what, no one is ever 100% happy.
@The Magic Twister meh not necessarily, I mean y'know
@The Magic Twister once I forgot my bridle when I took my horse out, I had to use my halter and lead. Not at a show, on a trail. But she was still perfect
The Magic Twister I've ridden in a halter before, just flat work and there is nothing wrong with it
@The Magic Twister you can ride in a halter but I think you should mostly do it if you aren't going on a long ride, maybe a short one
@The Magic Twister I ride in rope halters all the time... as well as snaffle bits... works just fine!
The guy who's bridle came off had an amazing, really well trained horse. I'm so glad he immediately pulled the bridle up so his horse didn't stand on it, and carried on the course.
It gave me so much anxiety until I saw it out of the way of her legs and feet. Amazing rider and amazing run. Gave me chills!
Emilie Natalie I know, he did so good and kept it under control! 😍
that was the best performance ever I loved it
Most reining horse/western show horses in general (not saying rodeo horses to clarify) are trained by strictly voice and leg commands and I’m not surprised he was fine bridless because they are used to very loose rein to begin with. Good job to the trainer for training that horse properly👏🏻
They were disqualified because he was using both of his hands after the bridle fell off. He also said that it was his last time ridding the horse, so i don't know if the horse was retired.
As a horse person from California, evacuating isn’t as easy as it may seem. Lots of people cannot get to their animals fast enough to evacuate them. I totally agree that if there’s nothing else someone can do they should just let their horses go. A lot of people do this, but because California is so densely populated, the horses end up getting hit by cars or trapped by circumstance. Trust me when I say most people do in fact have evacuation plans. But because of climate change and population problems California is a very dangerous place to have large animals. I’m not trying to be pretentious but this is a common misconception people have. Also when you move, make sure the barn you board Link has a plan to evacuate all the horses on property regardless if their owners are there/know or not.
I've thought about that because I live an hour from my horse. We don't have wildfires here, but it is pretty unlikely I could get to get in an event of an evacuation. Luckily she lives on a huge number of acres and could probably take care of herself, but it isn't as easy as some people think.
It can be hard sometimes but it depends where you live. No wildfire has come to near to my house. The campfire was like 30 minutes away. Very scary times and we didn't have school for almost a whole week because of the smoke.
Sasha Hanson my first thought was “what about traffic?” Even in my area where we have a lot of pasture, p we have fences, making the highway the most open place to run, but there are cars....
Im sorry? So-called “Climate Change” Aint real smh, Get yo facts right!
@@lorapoo8352meanwhile we’re melting
The best part is, that reining video was the last that horse was ever doing before retirement! What a way to end its career💗
He won the World on her daughter this year, very similar way of going and a beautiful palomino.
Nooo the bitless person didnt say he only rides bitless. He just said its a good thing for horses which lay a lot on the bit. Sorry for speaking mistakes...im german :-)
Nadine Rivergren No mistakes, very good English!
Hi! here are some tips, instead of typing speaking, I would say 'writing" instead. Your english is amazing though!
You are absolutely right. Sadly, this girl is basically anti everything. Her lack of any substantive knowledge is astounding.
@Faiza Kousar I think he's talking about Raleigh. To be fair, Raleigh has a point about bosals, but mainly if they're ill-fitting. Properly fitted bosals shouldn't create any rubbing unless the reins are moved, and even then it should just be a bumping motion. Arguably, the same could be said about rope halters due to the place the reins connect, as they, too, can cause rubbing when too loose or when the rider is heavy handed. I think its mainly a commentary on people who have never ridden in a bosal or dont know that there is a different way to ride in one; aka you never use constant contact in a bosal, its mainly about neck reining and leg pressure, whereas in most bitless bridles, you can use constant contact for an english horse.
Bosals are designed to be used very lightly, with no force. They are a very mild bitless bridle, but obviously if you ride rough and forcefully a rawhide bosal will hurt a horse, like any bit/bitless device.
As an addition:
You also don't feed live animals because they can potentially injure whatever you're trying to feed. For snakes, sometimes you have to feed live for a little while but only for as long as it takes until you get them to accept frozen and thawed prey.
I would like to come to the defense of bosals here. I have used one in the past and they are a great tool. mine never rubbed because it was fitted properly. when the bosal is not shaped correctly it will rub no matter how soft you are with it. it should fit snug across the nose and if the fit is correct it shouldn't move at all on the nose. now if the horse is a tricky fit, there is a very similar alternative. it is a loping hackamore. these are the exact same shape and apply the same pressure but are made from halter cord. bosals are made harsh by people who haven't educated themselves on the bridles. I gave up using it because the rawhide was too much for me to keep looking good. With the rope just dump it in water and its clean.
Thank you!
Thank you!!! ❤️
About the bitless topic, any noseband can be tough on a horse's nose, especially if the rider has harsh hands. Interesting how you didn't mention those long shanked mechanical hackamores though, as they are a severe bridle too. Longer the shank, the more pressure added on the horse's sensitive nose. Bits are honestly not that bad, and most horses like to have a nice contact on the bit. I trained and ride my own horse 100% bitless, but I also don't hate bits. I've done my on research on both bits and bitless, and honestly it all comes down to the hands of the rider which makes the gear abusive or not. Sadly I've seen many young riders at pony club who yank their horses, and I've been called an idiot for riding my own horse bitless through town. The anti-bit and anti-bitless people I absolutely despise. Just listen to your horse and use whatever gear that they are comfortable and happy in. Don't go off by your feelings, you're not a horse. Every horse is an individual and they have they own likes and dislikes, don't decide for them.
Yea some horses are just plain better with bits! Of course extremely heavy and harsh bits are bad but in some extreme cases it's either that or the horse gets put down! And bitless is good if it's for the right horse😊
@@charlimcc3445 Sometimes horses do need a different type of bit that may be harsh to some, but if used correctly then that is fine. I do believe it all comes down to the horse's training well over what gear people use with them. :)
YESSS! FINALLY, SOMEONE IS ACTUALLY THINKING THE EXACT SAME AS ME!
@@poniesatemypencils OHHH so there isn't such thing as a bad but just a bad fit for a horse? Thanks that clears up alot of things😊
Omg how could you say that Raleigh is going off her opinion when you are clearly goin off of yours ps. Do people like you have anything better to do🙄
Let me just throw in my two cents.
My OTTB mare is a bundle of anxiety. She would flip her shit (because of an abusive past) if I abused her with a bit. I’ve been riding her in a Mullen Happy Mouth bit and she’s been doing fantastic. Now don’t get me wrong, I’ve tried bitless. I’ve tried bosals, hackamores, bitless bridles, etc. but she can’t handle the pressure on her nose. She can’t work with that because it’s to much of a distraction to her. So, bottom line, not everyone that rides in a bit is abusive. And Raleigh, it’s not the bit, it’s the rider.
I also use a Mullen Happy Mouth bit on my anxious horse.it is one of my favourite bits. He is also doing amazing with it. he actually reaches for the bit when i go to bridle him.
Gillian Same! Like my mare used to clamp her teeth shut for both her jumping and dressage bridles and now she just stands there and takes it lazily! She really doesn’t care anymore
That's what I would have figured; a bit is just a normal tool, and any normal tool (such as crops and even your own feet) can be turned abusive if put in the wrong hands, just as it is with people. I like Raleigh's videos, so many props to her for bringing light to the abuse of horses which is very rarely spoken of due to their size and most people just not interacting with them, but I've noticed a pattern of her jumping to calling /too/ many things abusive without much room for argument.
And I bet there are people out there who think anything touching a horses face is abusive. This whole bitless/bitted thing needs to relax, everyone is allowed to have their opinion and shouldn’t be deemed abusive because of it. Ride your horse however you ride them and as long as you are kind, soft and loving, your horse will be fine whether they are bitted or not!
Thank you!!
Yes, thank you for understanding that this whole bitless/bitted thing doesn't need to be so heated
Even tho the bridle falling off was not planned it brings joy to my heart to watch that
I really wish people would consider that some horses actally prefer being ridden in a bit because my personal horse does! He cannot cope with pressure on his nose (he cant wear a nose band) he has no medical reason for this i've had vets check him, he just hates it. But he goes beautifully in his snaffle while he's being ridden and in his pellum while he's being driven with no issues at all. I work on a yard that is mainly bitless but they just go on whatever the horse seems to prefer if they go nicely in a bit and dont seem to like the bitless then they stay bitted and if they go better bitless they go bitless so im not biased towards bits and im not against bitless.
Tegan O'Neill YES. THANKYOU. A SANE PERSON. PREACH!
That is perfectly fine. Us as people should listen to our horses about what they like and dislike and not put our strong opinions/feelings before the horse's best interest. We're not horses, so we don't really have a say in claiming something is abusive. I've seen many horses comfortable and happy in a bit, with contact, even if we accidentally yank on the reins, horses forgive. I know some horses that don't like bitless bridles either, and much happier in a snaffle. My horse on the otherhand, I trained him bitless, and I even got him mouthed to the bit, and he honestly hates it. They are all different like us. :)
Thank you! I’ve ridden my horse in a halter. He tolerates it, but it’s pretty obvious to anyone that he prefers a bit.
(And he doesn’t need much. A French link for English, and a small Correction for western)
My mare is the same. I've ridden her in a halter, but she seems less agitated if I use her bit. She's almost 22 so I don't think I will change her mind. She uses the same bridle and bit that she's had since I met her when she was 8. I think for her it is routine and what she is comfortable with.
we had a wild fire in nz and we just opened the gates to the paddocks because there were just to many horses and not enough time, but we live in the country
pressure does not equal abuse
Im just asking everyone for prayers rn.....my dog just ran out my front door and got hit by a car, we r about to take him to the vet, but can i have prayers plz
Lexie Leo I hope he will be fine
Lexie Leo why are you watching TH-cam videos you should please go be with your dog I’ll be praying for him
Sending prayers sweetie!
My brother just survived a crash at surely 100mph or so, the other morning. Trust in the greater power... its gonna be alright xoxo
Why r u looking for attention
God please take care of this wonderful dog
4:21 is when the actual vid starts, your welcome😉
Thanks
area 51 Thanks!

THANK YOU
Is anyone else getting TIRED of the whole bitless topic now? I mean, just understand everyone has different opinions, I am not harming my horse using a bit!!
agreed, it's getting old.
Issy Bayley then just stop watching!
Yeah. Some horses don’t work in bits and some don’t work in hackamores. They can both cause equally horrible damage so I don’t understand why she’s so biased.
@@andicarusfell8387 I'm starting to think it's because she doesn't really know how to ride. A good horseman should be able to use any tool they have on hand without causing pain to the horse. I have horses who only take hacks but will ride in a bit. Why? Cause I'm not causing pain.
Teeny Anderson Yeah it just bothers me even though she should *know* as an equestrian that the same things don’t work for everyone’s horses. Hackamores don’t work for some of the horses I’ve seen
The mare Ms Dreamy is very famous. She was such a phenomenal show horse, always showed so honest and tried her heart out. I remember when this happened. Dan Huss did such a great job trusting her through the pattern. This right here is why I train Reiners. To get a horse to this point where they are so soft, trusting and athletic but completely in tune. Nothing feels better than throwing the reins out completely loose and just letting that horse do it’s job or removing the bridle and becoming a complete partner with your athlete. I know you are against breeding, training and other things but I thank you for appreciating this sport and such a great horse and rider duo. The modern day reining horses are just so phenomenal in the mind now. It’s like working with a fully trained herding dog like an Aussie. They love their jobs and love people, almost more than they love fellow horses.
raleigh- bits are abusive.
also raleigh- don’t use a bosal it’s abusive
Presley Quirico also Raleigh- but use a hackamore that’s basically just a harsher and more mechanical bosal
denina levesque both yall don't even listen to what she's saying, its that they CAN be abusive, not that they completely are. everything we do could be abuse or not, but you too are only watching her videos negatively and focusing on her small statements, not the bigger picture. her opinion will change as do all humans.

galexyadopts I really liked her at first until I noticed that every video she does she just has to bash anything that isn’t what she does and it’s extremely annoying. I haven’t seen many videos maybe 2 or 3 out of the many I’ve watched where she says those things CAN be abusive not that they are. Every other damn time it’s “I don’t use it and you shouldn’t because it’s abuse. A bit in a horses mouth is abuse so use something that doesn’t require a bit but only use these certain ones cause every other one is abuse because I know everything” it’s just gross. She sounds like every other preachy equestrian that only does things one way and if you don’t do things that way too then you’re wrong and abusing your horse. It’s literally the reason I stay away from anyone that rides one discipline and is always preaching about the way they do things. She’s still very knowledgeable about horses don’t get me wrong and I know she can ride, but I don’t like peachy equestrians, but that’s just me. I usually just skip anything she can’t shut up about lol it’s just I’ve ridden in literally every kind of bridle possible on many different horses and never had any kind of pain or horse refuse to listen to what they’re being ridden in. The only thing I have had a horse hate is a hackamore. But that’s just me and I don’t scream that constantly at anyone who does because if they’re horse responds to it and isn’t in pain then that’s wicked n good for them.
Dont breath around horses they are wild animals and can kill you and its abusive
How the hell can someone be so cruel? Why feed a LIVE horse to another animal? That is just wrong. Feed it a rat or something, my goodness. EDIT: I would never in my life feed my horse to another animal. I get sad even thinking about it.
This is the first post I hv seen about this horrible act in this post. So far, its been about the 'bit or bitless', fires & that great horse wth the broken reins BUT nothing on this poor beautiful helpless, defenceless horse who people on here claim they love horses? That shouldve been their first thought!! I dont knw hw she watched it but I knw I could NEVER EVER watch that!! RIP poor baby, I hope u come back & haunt those 'sons of bitches'
@@natthebrat100nm couldn't agree more, I honestly was like tfffff why's everyone talking about some damn equipment... Unfortunately I have seen a similar video, a dude puts a live donkey in with two young lionesses. They do eventually take it out bc the donkey fights back and the lionesses clearly haven't had something either that big or alive before but they were all drinking beer which probably didn't help... Absolutely shocking what people do and to even have that kinda stuff come into mind... Just shows they have some screws missing ☯✌
I love how your horse ran up to you he loves you I can just tell you guys have such a good bond
That video does not show that there is no need for the bridle at all...how do you think the horse was trained and got that good that he could continue and ride bridleless ...That video shows that the training on the horse was amazing that he could be ridden in that situation, which honestly any good reining horse could be.
Excatly!! !!!!!! Without bridles how would that good training have ever happened in the horse industry?
Exactly! It's not the gear, it's the training!
Right!! She makes it sound like you can just hop on any horse bridless and frolic about just fine. If someone follows with that mindset, a lot of people are going to get hurt lol.
Truth!!!
Carla Gray and your not
That reining video was AMAZING!!! Reining is a discipline that you rely heavily on your legs and feet, not your hands.
That reining 🐎 is just amazing.. very well trained and a great rider.
How she says bosals cracks me tf up.
About going bitless or bridleless, I'm an equine student at a community college and we have a lot of trained reining horses and I guarantee that any of them could run that pattern correctly without a bit or bridle and the reasoning is because they all know how to neck rein which is what you want for any western competition but especially reining. It's really cool that he carried on showing after his bridle broke but it's no surprise that the horse was still responsive. I would expect that from a horse in an AQHA show.
The guy that did the raining without the bridle lives by my barn haha. My trainer said that he got a score of a 0 sadly.
I know this is an old video but I just wanted to let you know that you are so informative for me and teach me so much
In Poland every yeah is show in a couple towns a big big show cavaliada. In 2018 there was a two riders competed at "wenus and Mars" competition and one horse got one whole jump down and put down the bridle too. The rider kinda didn't care and accepted the challenge to finish the rise. Horse almost got on worm up ring but the rider jumped off and stopped the horse. That was super brave to do that bc the horse was super strong and he was a stallion too
Wtf is wrong with bosals? First off, she’s pronouncing it wrong. Also, if the bosal was rubbing the horse to the point it bled, it was obviously a fitting problem and had nothing to do with the fact that it was a bosal. Good bosals are super smooth. They’re made of leather. Expect to pay $150+ for a decent bosal. It’s no different then riding in a rope halter. It’s actually got less pressure spots than a rope halter. I ride my mare in both a bosal and in bits. She works the same way in a snaffle bit and a shank bit. Lately I’ve been riding her strictly in a bosal for training myself and her. I’ve rode her for hours in a bosal and never experienced any rubbing. It’s the best thing to start a horse in because the pressure is so clear for them to understand and is the foundation tool. Learn your shit and don’t judge something because you’ve never used it and you’re basing your opinion on one situation you experienced.
th-cam.com/video/6wD7eVKpBnQ/w-d-xo.html
did you not see the bosal she showed? it was made out of rope. those are bad for the face if theyre not fitted properly, or if the person is riding too long or hard handed.
Daniel Khthonios Ok have you ever actually held a bosal? The noseband is not rope. It’s rawhide. It’s hard, but slightly bendable and flexible, so you can go through a process of shaping the bosal to fit your horses nose with a technique that I’m not going to get into. The only rope on a bosal is the mecate, which is the actual rope used as reins. And as you said, it can be rough if not fitted properly or if you ride rough. But that’s the thing with every piece of tack. A bosal is no different then those other hackamores she showed.
@@cheyenneaschenbrenner6462 ha ha ha I did the same thing. I discredited her as soon as she pronounced it wrong. In fact. I think I yelled it at my phone to her. Ha ha ha ha. Bosals are only dangerous when used improperly. If your causing pain with anything, bit, hackamore, rope....you don't know how to ride. Ha ha ha
@@cheyenneaschenbrenner6462 No, I have not, I'm not arguing with you though- I'm just pointing out, if you look at roughly 7:13, the bosal she showed seemed to made out of a rough rope.
I live in New Zealand and we have recently had really bad flooding so bad that her little Mini was almost swimming luckily another friend lives very close by but on higher ground and the Mini was OK but My friend had 2 other horses that she had to evacuate in knee-high water they lost a lot of hay and other stuff that was sitting on the ground when they weren't home.
I live in cal, and where I am there have been 10 OR MORE fires in the last 2 weeks, within 3 miles of my house... I have 19 chickens, two dogs, a bunny and a fish. It’s TERRIFYING, we watched one get put out, we have LOTS of trees around here. We think that 4 of the fires where set by homeless ppl, they where all at about the same time but different places. PLEASE HAVE A PLAN!!! it’s very important!
As the guy uses spurs because the horse is spur trained. 😂😂😂
THANK YOU!
Actually, false. Reiners are EXTREMELY unlikely to be “spur trained” and even so that does not mean you don’t need a bridle. Notice how his spurs are bouncing up and down in the video, not squeezing, and also notice how he throws his legs FORWARD and OFF the horse to stop, not pressing into the horse. Spur trained horses are not any better at riding without a bit or bridle than any other type of horse, and spur trained horses are normally in the pleasure and hunt seat realm. There’s a difference between riding with spurs, and spur “trained” in which you squeeze to stop and so forth.
@@lilym3568 actually yes this horse is spur trained its buttons are just different than the pleasure horse or hunt seater because he has a different job he throws his legs out because that is a way of the training he uses his seat like many spur trained horses just because his stop isn't spur trained (Like MOST reiners) he still is spur trained to speed up and slow down at the touch of the spur or turn at the touch of the spur. also spur training isn't all just spurs its also calf which he is using
@8:19 I saw that mare compete. She is a true pro. Shame that she was disqualified, but she is a genuine example of a great cow horse.
I've never had a bloody problem with bosals
Good for you, I guess. Nobody really cares though.
I was saying that I've used bosals and my horses never bled
@@horsetrainingandbreeding Yeah, I know, and I was saying good for you
When will people learn that your personal experience is not fact? like ok.. you've never had an issue with it, great, but the fact is, with bosals horses can get hurt, period.
@@ShatteredExisistance I'm not saying it isnt true. I thought it was interesting because I didnt know that peoples horses faces have gotten bloody from bosals..
I have to say thank u for saying Let Them Go about people horses. I live few cities away from the start of the fire. This is what happened, people just saw smoke and NOT even 30 minutes later the fire is only about 1 mile away from people homes. There was no time. Today there's over 250 missing. And over 40 dead, mostly older people... The families who had time to get their horses, some had to run their horses next to their cars. There's people online saying that is awful. THERE WAS NO TIME! I mean it. Even the school buses saw the smoke and just keep on driving, the buses are full, all cars, even one who can leave try. The hospital is gone, schools, homes, everything.
Hmmmm wonder when last links teeth have been floated.
Me too.
luckily, our stable is right next to a fire station and we have a sister stable that are aware of our fires and we are all ready to go in case of an emergency
Please read this! I’m quite young and I just started riding my pony in a neck rope she changed she wanted to move and please me when usually she’s shut down and lazy. It’s amazing.
When I rescued my ball python Julius, everyone said that he would never eat frozen thawed. He hadn't eat for almost a year and had 3 or 4 retained eye caps and was a husk of 2 sheds stuck on him. His owner said that he was afraid to care for him because he would panic and become aggressive. I was calm with him and he remained calm, which I realize doesn't always work. I offered him a frozen thawed, that would be his first frozen thawed and he happily accepted. Sometimes he didn't eat when I offered him food, but 9/10 he was very happy to eat and enjoyed his meals:) He was one of the most incredible souls I've ever met. He helped me through chronic pain and anxiety.
Jup, "If you have a different opinion leave it in the comments below". Except when you are Shelby Dennis and give facts to why bits are not the devil. Then your comments will get deleated of course🤣
stfu
Previous owner of my horses used bits and my horse has a half inch gash across his whole tongue i never used bits anyway always a hackamore but one day he yawned really big and i was horrified to see the scar
I really wish I had the funds and all of the space to get a horse they are such beautiful creatures
Not every horse can go bitless I tried my horse bitless several times in an arena and she always got attitudes and bucked and absolutely didn’t listen to me at all and I had to start kicking because with kissing she didn’t listen like she used to and when I used her bit she paid more attention
Andrea Hermosillo well maybe you should try to bond a little better with your horse then. It tells a lot about the relationship if you don’t have any other control than the physical one. Another reason could be, that your horse actually is in pain, and only is able to tell you without the bit/harness because the mouth isn’t shut and the expected position of the horse can’t be forced anymore, because the horse is “free”, so it has the option to act out when pain is there. People should really try listening to their animals instead of making excuses for why they have “bad behavior” animals don’t lie, they wouldn’t act out if there wasn’t a good reason for it, all they want is to live in harmony.
@@luna00musen How about you shut your mouth sense you have no clue what you're talking about. Hackamores can be, and have been, just as harmful and dangerous, if not more dangerous, than bits. Yes, certain bits are really harsh and shouldn't be used, Same with hackamores! Mechanical hackamores use physical pain to make the horse do what you want, while an average regular bit gently communicates with the corners of the horse's mouth. ANY tool can be used or abused. I have seen the severe damage that improper use of hackamores or bitless bridles have caused on horses due to inappropriate riding. Same with bits. It can go either way. If your horse can ride bitless and does just fine with it, that's great, congrats, but not all horses tolerate that kind of pressure on their face. It all depends on the horse, and the horse's training.
Spirit Song Well frist of all, i’m not promoting hackamores at all. I actually Can not stand Them because Way to Many people do a lot of harm to their horses with it because of the “I can’t hurt my horse with it, there is no bit”. The only thing I am saying is, that it seems very suspicious to me, that this horse of hers acts out, whenever he has the ability to. I am not even referring to pain in the mouth area. It could be back pain or whatever other pain. But a fact is, that this horse “can’t be ridden without a bit because it is not listening”
To me” wich is bullshit. The horse can not be ridden without a bit, because there most likely is some kind of pain involved, so the horse expresses itself in a “negative way”. The at negative expression/problem doesn’t go away from blocking the horse from moving and expressing tho. It only hides the symptoms.
Maybe try actually training her to ride bitless instead of just hopping on bitless.
I actually just watched that reigning video a few days ago and I was blown away by the sheer talent him and his horse, Ms. Dreamy have! Why do some people insist that some horses need bits? Genuinely curious!
I love the video of the guy who’s bridle came off! The horse is so well trained and so comfortable with the rider! You could see the horse licking and chewing and he looked so proud of himself after!
I apologise for a comment I made in an other video of yours. Your ideology is really admirable. You point out some really good things about horsemanship. Keep sharing with us those great videos.
Thanks for another video! I enjoy watching your reactions, and I've learned a lot from you. I don't necessarily agree with some of your viewpoints, but I still respect them. So again, thank you for another video, and I'll be looking forward to your next one. :)
Your a fool
I know someone in Cali and the fire came really fast towards her home, she got all of her animals out and trailered but her cats because they were so scared she wasn’t able to get them out :( She still doesn’t know if they died in the fire or if the home burnt down but a 98% chance it did, ugh so sad.
Bosals are not abusive. You bump them, not pull. And they have to be shaped to your horses face. If its not, it can cause rubbing. So if youre inexpierenced then yes, just like a bit is as harsh in the beginners hand.
I agree Raleigh. People don't realize that if you let your horse go, you are most likely going to get it back. They don't run away from you, they run away from the fire. So it is in their best interest to leave and escape the heat. It is also a possibility you could end up in the same place.
That was beautiful and I loved it thanks for showing good riding
For everyone in or near the wildfires (gosh I hope your not IN them)
These are things you can do to help your self and your horses.
1. Pack your car with things you would need to survive. Take extra coats and put them in ahead of time. Even if you are far from the fire, it spreads fastly. Don’t think it’s not coming.
2. If you have pets, like cats or small dogs, have their carrier ready at all times, just to be safe.
3. Take what you can early. This was my great grandma’s method while she was escaping Estonia. She had all of her things packed up and had left by the time the soldiers arrived.
4. Leave. Leave the state, AWAY from the fire (cough)
5. If you have horses and didn’t have a chance to evacuate them, spray paint your phone number on them as soon as you get a warning or even before. The sooner the better. Do it in red on dark horses and black on light horses so it is clearly visible.
6. If you have enough time, write your phone number on the horses hooves.
~Thanks, that’s all,
Stay safe loves 💕😘
I live in sac and the smoke is bad but we haven't been affeced by the fire but everyone who can please donate the fires have been bad and hard
Well, now that Raleigh has a sponsor maybe she will be less judgmental and give better advice that makes good horse sense!
My mom has talked to our horse show and now we are aloud to show without bits
I’m sorry to say this but you have no right to talk about what we all went thru in the fires here in California. The fire burnt 9 football fields in 1 min and this fire was not good for the environment - Why would you even say something so cruel - This freaking fire burnt down 10,000 homes just in paradise ca alone and so many deaths. How can you say wild fires are good for the environment. Omy this fire killed innocent people, domestic and wild animals and put 25,000 people homeless. The whole town is burnt to the ground and you start off with saying wild fires are good for the environment WTF you should really think before you speak. Our air quality was HORRIBLE for 2 solid weeks and you say wild fires are good for the environment-people here in the Bay Area are devistated about the camp fire in Chico/Paradise California-You have no idea - what these beautiful folks went thru - they are devistated and still in shock from this horrible trauma. They had no time to do anything and there is still 800 plus people missing. You should be asking your followers to be praying for us all instead of giving advice about what to do in a fire. Hello! show some respect for the loss of lifes, animals and homes. What is wrong with you seriously.
That’s a man who loves his horse
omg the title got me to click
That's the point!
The guy that lost his bridle his horse was doing what it loved with a lil bit of help from the rider that was amazing
You need to learn what "literally" means.
I had to live feed my snake rats for a long time bc he wouldn't take frozen/thawed and I hated, but my snake had to eat to live. Thankfully all my snakes, even the picky one, are feeding on frozen/thawed rodents! So FYI to anyone who is looking to get a snake, MAKE SURE I EATS FROZEN/THAWED
I want to correct the bosal argument quickly. I do a lot of western stuff and understand the mechanisms. A normal hackamore has metal or shanks. The pinwheel hack is going to press metal into the horses face when you try to turn. The bitless bridle is good but when you pull, you are going to apply pressure to the other side of the face but usually there is no metal to have pressed into the horses face. I bosal is going to apply pressure evenly because it asks for it below the horses chin. Its difficult to give mixed signals. I have a mare named Dixie and she is a HUGE work in progress. She can't take a fleece or a mechanical hack because she panics when she feels metal. She can take a bit fine but she needs the traditional hack (Bosal)
OMG I CLICKED SO FAST Raleigh I love you so much like you are my favorite TH-camr and I'm leaving the body after you so yeah love you
mood
I swear, I see you in every RaleighLink video...
@@Pink_Ponk. also mood XD
@@Pink_Ponk. really
@@Pink_Ponk. also I love your profile pic for TH-cam
I was always told that you never control the horse with the bit the horse should know where to go by the reigns touching its neck on either side. Idk if that’s a different way of training or if that’s pretty standard but when I showed when I was little that’s what I was taught. Love your videos!
Lol, you say bits are abusive, but you ride with a hackamore. I could mention so many things you do wrong while riding, which i did under your different videos, but OMG, hackamore is almost worse than a bit.
The german guy said that he doesn‘t want his horse to concentrate on the bit when he‘s riding and jumping because it can be so much calmer and more relaxed if it works with voice commandos and the other inputs you have on the horse
Oh my gosh that first video you describing it I broke down into tears
Yes, it was so upsetting. Yr only the second person whos commented about this. I thought it wouldve been the top comment but seems it flew passed their heads
The thing is if I tried to let my horse to if there was a fire is that he won't leave. He saw this random person walking on the street and he was eating and I was leaning on the fence and he ran towards me and turned to look at the person. He also follows me everywhere.
EARLY SQUAD
is it ok if you ride with a bit because bits are helping you steer because I have a bit but I do very loose reins but sometimes I use it for steering
We don't have an evacuation plan but I live in Austria and we have no catastrophic things like that. We rarely have floods and our house is on a hill. It matters a little bit where you live. If I would live in the USA I would prepare much more.
I agree with you on just letting them go if you can’t trailer them to safety because part of my family had a three horses but they Could only trailer two so they let the other one go and a few days later their horse ended up coming back to the barn and waiting for them
Sind hier noch mehr Deutsche die sich bei dem Typ so dachten ja man n deutscher?😂💪
Klar doch 😂
Komme etwas spät, aber ja!
Meist kann ich Deutsch gar nicht sofort als solche identifizieren, weil es so ungewöhnlich ist!
👋😂
i am a rider, and I think that using the posture and the pressure of the legs on the horse side and the pressure on the neck to tell the animal what to do it's enough for the horse to understand what you want him to do. Therefore I think unharmful bridal are perfectly ok. I hope it's clear, my English it's not too good XD
Thank you Raleigh so much!
Congratulations
congratz!
I’m confused is link at a barn?
I saw a video of lions eating live donkeys (in a cage) and what pi$$ed me off was the fact that everyone watching was cheering and laughing at the donkeys.
Can we talk about how freaking BEAUTIFUL HER EYES ARE!?!?!? THE COLOR, SHAPE, SIZE PERFECT!!!!
Merry Peterson she just talking about her eyes gosh damn it
Stacy Westfall set a STANDARD for reining, on top of the fact that these horses are so well trained at this level.
LOVE YOU
I love CBD MD. I use it for myself and my cats. I can verify the no traceable THC claim as my neurologist’s office drug tests pain management patients once a year to prove they are taking the controlled meds as prescribed and no other controlled meds are in their system (including pot). I have been taking CBD oil for years and passed the drug test every year.
Yassss first like!!! Love you Raleigh!!!!!! 💜💜💜💜💛💛💛💛
Wow literally the reigning video is in my recommend RIGHT under Raleigh’s video
REINING HORSES ARE SPUR TRAINED. You can ride just about any seasoned reining horse without a bridle. They respond to weight and pressure cues and very very light contact of the bit. Whhhhhy are bits still an argument? Need one? Use one. Don’t need one, use something else. Whooooo cares.
Literally love you so much........... your not gonna see this but I can still try......... I entered the tack sale and boo you know I am trying to get that hackamore........ but whatever I am boring whoever is reading this , bye
I think it depends on the bosal, I don’t use it anymore because I just use a rope halter now but the one I had was soft leather and had a lot of give, it’s not hard or anything. But I agree that If you use a hard one then it can be harmful. Also try and write a phone number or something on your horse with shoe polish or something so it can be returned if you let it our
Hehe im been riding for about of year without a bit. Ever since first sitting on my horse I've never even had a bridle with a bit on!
I've been using a hackamoore bit less bridle*
I rlly want to ride my horse bitless, but the last time I tried with a halter I could BARELY control him, any tips? And he’s got an extremely sensitive mouth and spooks at nothing at least twice in every ride, so I want control, But not to pull on his mouth like a crazy person
I just watched the horse video, it wasn't removed...... I'm in shock that people can do that......
so true if it comes down to letting your horse go, it has the best chance to survive (someone might even found your horse) don't be selfish you dont need to risk your life and your horses life just because "i want a horse to ride" please please be safe out there though
I started riding bidless with a bosal but I also have a trainer who shows me how to use it correct. But I see your point.
This just proves that the bit has absolutely nothing to do with this horses performance. Just because there is a bit in a horses mouth doesn’t mean that it’s being used to yank the horses face around and force them into uncomfortable positions. He wasn’t forced into this. If the bit had been yanking on the horses face and used incorrectly during competition the horse wouldn’t have performed as well as he did without it this time. Its obvious that the bit did not cause any previous harm to the horse.
Yeah I've always thought bosals looked very harsh, unpadded leather bridles can cause hair loss or rubbing let alone a very hard rawhide chunky noseband, it's also similar to a leverage bit in the way it is used it could cause a lot of damage very easily. I'm personally fond of sidepull bridles as if you get a good padded one it's less likely to cause discomfort. Some people prefer the straps under the jaw or a hackamore- they're not for me.
❤️ you Raleigh!
Link is absolutely GORGEOUS , his coat is so sheen and he looks so well looked after , you seem like a really amazing horse person (also love the hat😉 😂)
My dog has three legs, he’s fully capable of taking care of himself. Probably from the lesson he learned by getting hit by a car. Or the role model he looked up to as a pup. He’s a German shepherd. When we got him out of the vet the first day after his surgery he seemed to have struggle standing and walking. It’s now a few years after that and he runs faster than any four leg dog. Turns out that breed of dog has a lot of weight in their shoulders. And it was the back left leg that was amputated. I live on acreage outside of my town on a road just a few miles from the highway and the farthest I’ve seen my dog run is probably 12 feet out of the yard. He gets in trouble if he leaves the yard now. I just wanted to share because he’s my only outside animal and I don’t have a horse.
Just letting them go is the best way to help horses if you can’t get them out. I know with the Napa and Thomas fires last year in California, owners just wrote their phone number and a their horses special health needs on hooves and let them go
