Snaffle or double bridle? Some riders make it a big debate… but the truth is: It’s not just about what’s in your horse’s mouth, it’s about how you handle it. Even the best bit in the world won’t fix connection or balance. What matters most is that your horse moves from back to front, with energy, trust, and relaxation. The bit should simply be a tool that receives that connection, not creates it. Of course, the bit must always fit your horse correctly and be comfortable. But in the end, it’s not

When a horse goes against the hand, the problem is rarely in the reins.🤔 Resistance in the contact usually means the body isn’t through yet. The back isn’t swinging, the energy from behind can’t travel forward, and the horse has nowhere to go but against your hand. Trying to fix this by holding more, shortening the reins, or “setting” the frame only creates more tension. Instead, think body first: • Ride forward into the bridle • Create activity behind • Allow the neck to open so the horse can

Ever had that moment where you ask for contact… and your horse answers with a negative reaction? 😬 The temptation is to “hold it” in front. But that usually creates more tension, more resistance, and an even heavier feel. What I want instead: ride THROUGH it into the bridle. ✅ Keep your hand forward (don’t work backwards) ✅ Add leg so the energy goes from hind leg → body → hand ✅ If it gets sticky: make a simple transition, go forward again, and let the back loosen ✅ Give a short stretch break
