Riding Blue in the Missing Link Snaffle 

I just got one for my coming five year old Friesian cross mare, I’m really excited!

😅😅 packed with side lines..

We don't believe in drilling a horse. Once the exercise is completed to our satisfaction, we don't repeat it endlessly. It's just a matter of feeling when the horse understands and is doing it willingly. We don't train a horse to mindlessly do something so repetition isn't necessary once the horse knows to move away from pressure whenever asked. The Missing Link Snaffle comes in one size. There are a number of videos explaining how it works. Here's a playlist: ru-vid.com/group/PLqolZu7D-bMOITvf8dN1RmjpcHec_a_3a&si=Rl6uEHVyO25pPwd6

He's talking about when the bag leg crosses. That's disengaged. And it's good to do that before hopping on

It's when the back leg crosses the other leg.

@@thomaskennedy2942 Is it because, as a prey animal, horse rear legs are "cocked" to naturally bolt at a moments notice?

@@WacoA.I. idk. Good thought though

@@thomaskennedy2942 I'm guessing that it's either something like that, or something like when horses are bumping into the logs during Pat's sidepass training, which seems to distract the horse long enough for it's mind to just let go for a second.
