Expert Posts: 1631 Location: Somewhere around here	https://youtu.be/8uRVmTA-Gic I watched this video yesterday and again this morning. I thought it was very educational and interesting! Makes sense to me. What do y'all think about it?

But like they said, these tools are only as useful as the hands using them. I've had the Jim Edwards ball correctional rope gag for just over a year. It's a very nice tool to have.

Veteran Posts: 233	If you are hauling on a 2 year old, you're doing it wrong. Self carriage and a horse that doesn't lean on the bit are not the same thing. A horse can be light in the face because they are sucked back, hollow, and trailing the hind end and a novice or intermediate ride might not be able to tell the difference between "light in the face" and "working off the back end". A 2 inch wide port is not giving a 4 inch wide tongue any place to go. It works off palete pressure. Once a horse had sufficient muscle to carry themselves, most of them are quite happy in a ported bit, assuming an educated hand on the other side. NEVER confuse a horse that breaks at the third vertebra with a horse that breaks at the poll. Breaking at the third is easy, looks nice, and gives a horse that tucks it's nose in nicely, but does nothing to lighten a horse's front end and get them to rock back. More leg before more bit will fix most issues. However, just as a horse has to yield to pressure, most riders need to learn "more leg, less hand!".
