""When a lot of folks can't get a horse to operate on a feel, in a snaffle, what most are going to tell you "hell, get a little more bridle, get a little more s...hank on it, get a chain on it" and then when he's really wanting to flip over then "tie his head down". If he really runs into the tie down then "get a bicycle chain over his nose".............I mean it doesn't stop, it becomes medieval what they do. But when you get a horse to where he's operating on a feel; it doesn't make much difference what you have. Whereas a lot of people leave the snaffle bit because they flunked out, they failed...............and then they go and get another bit. Of course these tack salesmen love that. They go and get another bit and then they flunk out in it, ruin their horse. Then they ruin them in that, then get another bit and then pretty soon they've got a whole wall full of bits and they still can't operate the damn thing. All that money they've wasted on bits; they could've probably bought a decent saddle for the horse so he didn't have to put up with the junk they were riding in. Now that would have been something that would have been worthwhile. So if you don't get it done in the snaffle (the basics that a horse needs, the fundamental movements that all horses need to do for whatever you have in mind for them) before moving on to something else, well............you're not going to get it."" - Buck Brannaman.

There is no quick fix in our sport. Not a sharper bit, not a bigger spur, not a quick injection to numb the pain, no drugs, no doping. We are dealing with a liv...ing creature. With a heart, a soul and a body we are responsible to take care of the best way possible for the long run. Be a horseman first, then an equestrian athlete. See more
