I have wondered if you might make another video on this subject. I personally love that you use a rope halter😁 I’m sure all the horses under your care love it too 💛
At an event, I found I only had my bitless bridle on board, so that’s what I used on my Haflinger. She was exactly the same in the bitless bridle - quite heavy! So, I have stuck with bitless. Just have to work on her ‘lightness’! Getting lots of learning here.
I was so interested when you said something about collecting through the back or hind end and not through the bit. Do you have a a video about how to do that? If not, will you be able to make one? I’d love to learn!
I personally have never had a problem training my horses bitless. If the horse is listening to me and my seat I rarely need to do much with the reins at all. My theory is, if your horse doesn’t listen to you and wait for subtle cues then you shouldn’t be riding them. They are not ready for that. Everything we use is really just an illusion of control.
Yay! Great video! ❤️ love y’all! So apparently shiloh has some type of fungal infection in her hoof. There is a hole/ crack in her heel that my farrier said was not suppose to be there ( in both front hooves I think) He said if it had gotten worse she would over time be in pain. I guess. He squirted some cephapirin sodium in her hoof and gave me another one to do it again the next time I come. He nicely gave it to me for free!
Hi Sarah! Thank you! Sorry to hear about Shiloh! Sounds like she has hoof fungus, thrush. Most horses get it and be careful around the heel and cracks as it gets in deep and can become painful. Reach out to Ariela in the MMP for more advice:) XO

Bits are designed to be pain compliance devices.
awesome
The cat is adorable 😍

First
I have trained my 1/2 Arab mare bitless and shoeless from day one. She is sweet tempered and very responsive to all signals.
