Nothing about training or riding a horse, of course. We need help teaching our horses our language much like a school teacher needs books, blackboards, and sometimes rulers to teach their students. I tell people again and again, yes, some devices strong enough to never be used, but in the right hands even the mildest halter can become a horse torture. On the other hand, can help correct Used equipment, the horse learn a lesson faster and easier so that gentler on the body of the horse and humor. When looking at training equipment, I look at these aspects to determine whether the equipment I use is the right one for me and the horse. Covered surface or skin contact, the surface design of the equipment that touches the skin needs and motivation for a particular lesson. So, let's look at what makes bits, spurs and whips look different.
When searching for a little bit, is the best place to start by explaining how it would feel on the soft corners of the mouth and tongue. You can also press and hold the bit in the hand as it would be in the horse's mouth and feel what happens when you apply pressure. Try both, if the horse's face is in the right position, perpendicular to the ground, and when the horse to lift his head and take his mouth more parallel with the ground. In general, a milder bit is a smooth, thick mouthpiece large rings or pieces on cheek snaffle, short shanks and low ports on curb, wide nose piece and short shanks on a mechanical hackamore, thick mouthpiece and large branches on a Bosal.
Know how each type of bit works and what it is used motivation is equally important. The bridle is designed to be used with a direct or leading running pull and to promote lateral flexion in the horse's neck and a broken mouthpiece and rings which are known to facilitate the reins on the right side of the mouthpiece. There is a direct relationship of the pressure applied directly to the mouth. If you pull on the hand with five pounds of pressure, the horse feels five pounds of pressure. The smaller the rings the pressure of the train on the reins is the more concentrated on a smaller spot on the opposite side of the horse's mouth. This is what makes the full cheek snaffle at least heavier.
The curb, Bosal and hackamore work off the horse straight and promote the horse's head "on the vertical 'by relying on leverage with different ratios of pressure, wear is applied to the bars, chin and neck of the horse. Longer the shaft and the shorter of the purchase the greater the ratio. For example, a bit with a one inch long reins ring and a six-inch shank a 5:59 ratio., if you apply five pounds of pressure on the reins, is 30 pounds of pressure to applied to the chin, bars and survey. For the curb They also have a chin strap., the thinner the band the less bad as it spreads the pressure over a larger area. Rusty chain chin strap are in the show ring illegal because it the horse chin can cut. The port or center increase the bit increased in severity is the larger., if you apply the reins, the port is enabled by driving up into the roof of the horse's mouth. During a Mullen mouthpiece looks less severe, depending on the horse severe considered to be the bit applies full pressure of the tongue during low port can hold the tongue of the bit.
The bit-less bridle includes the bosal hackamore, halter and bridle type. The thinner the bosal, the more severe as once the pressure on a smaller area on the face and under the chin and thought therefore more concentrated. The nodes of the bosal can cause injury to the side of the horses face if they rub too much. Not many will choose the bosal as a bridle, as they are not used to the bite, without good training on a horse. One of my least favorite of bit-less bridle is the mechanical hackamore. Naively, many think this is the least severe. However, these units come in different styles, including cable wire and bicycle chains for the nose. When combined with a standard 9-inch shank they can easily apply plus 90 pounds of pressure on the horse's nose, chin and neck. A young driver can easily and unknowingly break a horse's jaw. And while it is so "naturally" without the horse seems a bit of ride, consider how long you work to gain control a lesson with the horse. Yes, maybe a bit less bridle-something that you consider to be working in, but not as a teaching tool or a starting place. Also consider your comments and like a bit less bridle will communicate with your horse. Will it lead to your information too vague and therefore confusing the horse or will it provide clear communication allows your horse full understanding of your wishes.
You can now have a better understanding of what I say about spores. Try it on your own leg. Do not remove the spur and they roll on their own skin and feel for yourself how hard it is or to be your horse. Spurs, as the shaft slightly, when used properly have been developed to provide information which is precise and clear, and thus could be easier. We have found them to be great motivators to a lesson and move together like bits as soon as a device used pain as a motivator we cease communication with our horse. The horse begins to protect themselves and respond rather than react to our requests. If the horse can feel a fly walking on their side, it does not take a sharp tip on the heel with your leg feel. Horses are not dead mouth or dead sided, they have simply raised their pain threshold, used to make the amount of pain for training.
But back to Spurs, it seems obvious to say that the larger the area, the contact fraction and the smoother the surface of the spur, which is less severe. Well, here's the kicker. When you look at a selection of spores we would naturally shy away from the big rowel covered in 20 points, when in reality, the Sporn is less severe than a smaller rowel with only six points. Why? Mentioned for the simple reason. The large rowel with many points actually covers a larger area of the skin and not to push the horse as the small 6-point rowel. Consider some other aspects spores are the sides of the rowels, they were smooth beveled so that they do not scrap the horse and roll freely enough that if you can get sand in them fall through without locking up your rowel.
The 'humane' spurs at first glance, bumper or barrel see anyway to remember that the surface is the key. These spores no rowel, but are thin, so that the "bump" will be concentrated on a small area. The gum spurs seems the least restrictive when it is used to clarify a keyword and not. Than a substitute for good training Nevertheless, a good blunt rowel could actually be argued to be less serious, since when used correctly the rowel allows the spur to roll up the horse's side where the bumper, gum spur and even English fraction will pull on the horse's back pages. The important thing to remember about spurs are an additional aid such as a harvest. A horse is listening to one and all spores when it is the first and most important cue.
Whips should be used as an extension of your hand and not as a stick to beat your horse. The whip should be used only by the horse in a way that you reach Upon workout in a safe position. There are horses that require strong motivation, but a horse should not have to fear the whip more than it should be afraid or hand. Also the size. The thicker the whip or bat end the less the whip. When working on the ground a whip should be a massive wave that is not beckoning, when you tap the horse. The reason is that if you knock on or increase the pressure you need to stop the floppy whip will react badly. It will tend to sting the horse too much and hit the horse if you do not want. Use a whip size that satisfies the situation. If you need to tap the waist you need a longer whip than normal, which is used in the saddle. And just like the spur, the whip should not become the primary cue. It is designed to be used as secondary cue. That is, you use the whip if the horse does not respond to a better primary physical cue and the whip should be as fast as the horse the correct answer is to be abandoned.
My point, you have the best equipment for the job. While you could put in a flower garden with literally bare hands, I think we all would agree the job would much sooner with less pain, our arms, back, legs and mind to be done if we used a shovel. In the same way, we need to consider how much stress is put on the horse's body with unnecessary repetition. Sometimes a mild snaffle is the better choice to the lesson taught more clearly, accurately and in a timely manner as a halter. And while bit, spur and whip use can and will be argued until the end of time, it helps to be on their design, proper use and benefit educated so that you make the right decisions. Most were developed with the full intention that the cues could be made clearer and easier to learn the horse could work off aid. It is human laziness that they did in inhumane training devices. And while most would agree that it would be great to ride our horses and complete freedom to respond without error, it is a goal, not a starting point and if these tools can really help us on this trip used....
