Doesn’t always mean the bits are harmful

Sometimes riding bitless with a hackamore is much more severe! It puts pressure on the sensitive nerves of the face, and in a heavy handed rider can be very painful indeed. A good, well fitted bit , suited to the horse for the activity required is often the much gentler choice.

@@impunitythebagpuss FINALLY someone who in that. everyone’s always like “oh bitless is so good and non abusive” even when the rider has heavy rough hands

I tried bitless and my horse hated it, she actually preferred the bit 😅

I prefer bitless. If they can't ride with soft hands they shouldn't be jumping at this level. If a bitless hackamore is put on correctly it is much more comfortable. Vet documents state "Bits have been associated with mouth, lip and jaw-bone lesions [3, 4] High rein pressure on the bit can lead to the restriction of head movement during riding, resulting in uncomfortable postures and/or movements as horses attempt to avoid the bit pressure" If used correctly bits can be a great tool to help give a horse clearer signals but you can also use other things such as your legs and leaning to provide the signals. My preference is bitless and I don't have an issue with bits as long at they are not being used by a heavy-handed person. I believe lesson horses for new riders should always be bitless because new riders rely way to much on the reins.

yeah. i usually bet on who will win :D

My to 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐴🐴🐴🐴🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎 horses are the best

You are just hurting the horse 😢

Hi

What?

… wow

😨

You obviously don't ride seriously.

@@zarziamirah1936 are you saying that a serious rider must beat his or her horse ? Someday, they will be outlawed. Shamey on you.

They know their horses. There's a world of difference between "beating your horse" and using the crop as an aide.

@@impunitythebagpuss world of difference !! I watched a rider switching his horse because it balked at the water. You would not want an “aide” used on you, I am sure.

@@patk1254 never been near a horse in your life I would guess. Oh well...

it's pretty hard to understand what you're saying

"Worn very quickly"? Then explain why a 19 year old horse is jumping and jumping very well in this competition.
