"I hope this was

Can you do a video more specifically about about other riding accessories like Martengales, draw reins, side reins, flash nose bands, figure 8 etc.

I used to be the biggest gatekeeper for bitless riding, my stance was that anyone using a bit was abusive. My opinion changed when I actually bought my first horse, that put me in my place 🤣🤣🤣

this is so helpful as a beginner! all the different bits kind of intimidated me, so this was a great way to break down the what's, why's, and how's of each type. thank you!!

I am also not a fan of anything twisted! Thanks for sharing, love to hear different trainer’s (logical) opinions. 😊

wait im bitless why am i watching this lmfao

ahh yay! happy to hear a professional talk about this. i always try and just use a simple loose ring french link snaffle but do occasionally come across a horse that i need a little more to avoid hauling on his/her mouth, especially out XC. i’ll usually just pick a pelham if i come across that so i can ride primarily on the snaffle rein:) just gotta make sure to avoid anything twisted haha

I would love to see a tack room tour

So excited to see your channel grow. Such awesome content :) Not many horse channels do this type of stuff. Well done! Thanks

bro deathdollie aint real hacker she just own her game so she can do anything 💀

Thank you for this great explaination! I especially enjoyed that you went back through some of your horses and explained the 'why'. I find so often a suggestion is made to switch bits, but the 'why' is missing. This helps me (a newer horse person) immensely!

All of the horses at the barn i ride at can be ridden in a halter with rope reins, but if we do use bits we use the happy mouth we’re a hunter barn. My trainer also believes in using the least pressure possible on horses’ mouths. Thank you for all the helpful tips 😘❤️

With the hack-a-bit combo, I feel like people are scared of it because the shanks look so intimidating. but like you explained, it's all in the hands that use them. I love how informational this is! Finally something educating people, and I love that you're looking from both perspectives both bitted and bitless. Less is more, that's what I go by. I always use Dee rings, loose rings, or eggbutt snaffles. With too joints (french link, or losinch) I've found they always give the best with using the least bit possible. ❤

This is actually so helpful - I work in a tack store and as much googling as I do I always have customers ask me bitting questions where my answer is "Uh........". This is a really great info source and I'll be sharing with my coworkers!

Thanks for sharing! I'm happy to see that your collection of bits is modest in severity 👍 and I like how you mentioned that severity ultimately comes from that hands. I hope this helps people become more educated on how bits function, this is so important!

I love this. Thank you, very educational for a non rider, I'll watch this a bunch times to learn. I very much enjoy learning about horsemanship.

Great video. I love your approach to treating each horse as an individual and being sure to use the bit they like/ need compared to just what you want.

The thing with one riffled side: We use this while driving horses. The even side ist soft and the riffled side is a little sharper.

Loooove this, thank you Zoey! I’ve always used simple egg bit snaffles so it’s wonderful to learn such in-depth info on so many different bits. I’ve always been curious but never took the time to really research due to how controversial bits are these days. It’s nice to learn from a trainer/someone’s info I actually trust haha. I love hearing different people’s opinions and uses. You never stop learning. Can’t wait to see more of your content! 😊

I love that you kept this video so informational without getting opinionated!! It's great to be able to teach about a controversial topic without making it a "controversial topic". I feel like so many people when they take about bits (or anything deemed controversial) dance around the subject and try to not say anything for fear of criticism, so thank you for not doing that! This is a great informational video every horse person should see!!
