Horses

Loose ring snaffles have a rather bad name for beginners. According to many bit sites, it is too ‘loose’ for unstable hands. The reason is quite clear.

Breaking down the differences between two popular bit types, and their respective uses.

This post is more of a multiple purpose post. While the main topic is bad riding/riders, I will be discussing bad equipment, better/worse equipment and overall a few more topics, as they come into my mind.

Straightness is one very important thing in riding. You must come to a jump straight, and keep your horse straight, even if you aren’t necessarily jumping. If you come in skew, your horse will likely duck out, or if it does jump it, it’ll be quite odd.

Confidence is one of your key components in riding horses. You should be confident in yourself and the horse, to tackle any obstacle that comes your way.
