This is a really great video with a lot of good tips. I was just wondering where did you get that set up you used?
I made it. Just cut the rings off an old snaffle and ran leather strips through
@@equest3072 thank you!
Bruce is great and a really good communicator on the spade subject. Really enjoyed finding this interview! Thanks guys!
Bryan especially has some of the best stories and he's a good story teller.
Do you have an address and phone number for Mr. Bill and Teresa?
wonderful demonstration of lightness and collection!
Why do you remove the rings and just have the mouthpiece for this set up?
It’s less cumbersome or likely to get caught on stuff. Horses at this stage are somewhat irresponsible with their heads and this keeps them out of trouble while they learn while they learn to pack a bit.
@@LiveEquestrian1 makes sense! Thank you for your reply!
Although Mr. Sandifer may not be as technically or scientifically specific regarding the spade bit, its contribution to collection, and his horses' movements, he is spot on. Dr. Deb Bennett of the Equine Studies institute has written the best technical and scientific explanations of the spade bit and collection I have read. Mr. Sandifer has developed this knowledge the traditional way by observing and feeling the horse's response. What Mr. Sandifer said about the horse raising his neck for collection was spot on. This severity classification of bits is hogwash and marketing to sell bits. One needs to extract the principles of the bit's design and the intended occupation (an limitations) of the horse to decide upon the proper bit for the horse. These bits and western reinsman riding style were never intended for the weekend warrior. A great video. Thank you.
Interesting!
👍👍
He tries EXTREMELY HARD to talk Spanish & say select few words & HE TICKLES ME!!! and he thinks he's funny!!! HOWEVER N O T!!!
I M O puckett needs to move to Spain & teach his NOT LIKEABLE style of riding a Iberian horse... Because a REAL COWBOY IS TEXAS STYLE
Wouldn't take any advice from him WHATSOEVER!!!! However COMMIEfornia & Oregon are about equal when it comes to LIBTARDS
Probably a good thing Steve and my husband didn't know each other. They had similar ideas for mischief. I really enjoyed this.

I have a question, I’m a young and lightweight female and while I am strong I can be thrown around easily when my horses throw fits. I almost never fall off but it happens to everyone if you ride horses enough. I don’t know if I could handle a full on bucking session from my girl (12yr old wild horse) and if I couldn’t I would hate to teach her that bucking will stop the ride whenever she wants. So would it be a good idea to put a weight in the stirrup and possibly saddle to get her used to that feeling before I personally get on her?
I apologize if this is a weird or bad question, it’s my first time breaking a horse and the last thing I want to do is do it wrong
@@GoldenRoseSkies Don't .... BREAK.... your horse..... TRAIN .... your horse. Big difference. Good luck.
@@Deej496 Oh yes! I know that, I just use break as the general term. The way I put it is “Breaking the bad habits” but never ever breaking their spirit and body
You have a video with the Mecate I can’t really see the video that well because it’s do dark 😢 I just started using the Mecate
Id like to see one on the bosalita and the center strung or forelock tied. The similarities and the differences.
Haha , I heard "getting ready for the beer and confidence clinic"at the beginning. probably need ears checked . good video\
Some years ago I attended a benefit at the fort worth equestrian center sponsored by ray hunt to raise money for tom dorances wife after he passed. Got the thrill of my life to shake toms hand and to thank him for helping so many of us to understand and train our horses. Buck was there and a whole group of Tom Dorances students. Many horses have this whole group of trainers to thank for a deeper understanding of what a true leader can do once your mind is open to new ideas. To all you followers of Tom and Ray thank you for keeping the movement alive for younger folks to latch onto.
Teddy!
got me sold from the intro!
Dig it! Great to find you, Bruce. I watch Pat and Deb Puckett and that's how I learned about the Spade Bit Horse. RAD! What breed is the horse you're riding? He looks like a Lusitano possibly? Azteca? Thanks!
This was a clip from our time with Bruce. We also interview Pat and Deb Puckett on another episode. I don’t believe Bruce has a KZread channel, but he does have a website
Top Class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oq aprendi de bom no mundo das redeas foi com essa fera só gratidão
Thank you
Cool…❤️👍🏼
Some very helpful tips here. Thank you!
That's *HORRIBLE* leaving the horse for that f'ing long. 6 hours is ridiculous. Do it in small sessions at a time over the course of a few WEEKS. Not just a few hours. So stupid.
Oh, Hi ignorant anonymous person on the internet. What if we have to spend the night on the trail, work a branding, stand at a trailer, stand on a high line. My horses are WITH ME! They do what I do. If that requires them to wait and be patient so be it. They get fed and watered as needed and they move as needed. That’s part of a working partnership with an animal that IS NOT A PET.
@@equest3072 Horses literally are pets and they should be treated with respect, and not stand with something foreign in their mouth for hours upon hours the first time you do it with them. I'm not saying your.. culture.. can't tie the horses for x hours if you're doing an overnight at some place, but when it comes to training, you can't force a horse into doing something. When you put a bit in a horses mouth, you trigger their body into thinking they're going to consume food, so their body naturally produces alot more saliva during this time, which causes the horse to foam at its mouth as it can't swallow properly with a bit, which then in return can choke the horse to death. Same with their teeth, they have a habit to put the bit up on their back teeth (as we can clearly hear in the video) and trying to chew on it, this can cause their back teeth to shatter and break, which obviously is a problem. These are just some main factors to why you shouldn't leave the poor horse with a bit in his mouth the first time for hours. It's just cruel and dangerous.
Please tell me why your opinion should matter to me.
@@equest3072 Because it's animal abuse. But sure! Go on and abuse animals, not like an equie and cattle veterinaries opinion should matter anyways, cause you know sooooo well what you're doing with the horse.
@@user-sy7ed7ke3d As a professional horseman, farrier, instructor, carded judge etc (with credentials) who works routinely with vets in a professional capacity, I am telling you that you need to educate yourself. You draw the term “abuse” like a gun, but have no real clue about animal welfare.
Where can I get rawhide in different lengths and widths? Thank you, great video!
Most people I know are making their own.
Where have you folks disappeared too? You haven't posted anything in 11 months?
well if you had a tripod maybe I could have seen what I was looking for--how do you get it in their mouth--this was pretty useless
I've got one of his mares, they are so nice.
If you have good hands almost any good bit will work. It's usually not the bit it's who is holding the reins. You can revere the old history and that's all fine and good but if you watch most past videos of the old cowboys they really weren't all that good as reinsmen compared to the masters of today. Although probably a tougher working breed of cowboy those of old times when men were men and cowboys were real deal. Like any trade or sport we all evolve usually for the better (except for the sport of reining with the new peanut pusher hoover vacuums they call horses). A master of today can get better results from a snaffle bit than the masters of yesterday in the spade. A broke horse is a broke horse and will work in most any bit when it's all said and never completely done. Yes I own a spade and use it here and there. Don't get stuck in the past or the future will pass you by. It's all in good hands..... Do you have the time?
In the video we did with Brian Nubert he talks quite a bit about that.
Although I agree with many of your points there are some that one might want to reconsider. Actually, the spade bit is one of the oldest bits. They date back before 1200 B.C. Talking about turning back history. It is a rough and crude bit that has caused more damage to horse's mouths than any other bit. I suggest reading Rojas, Arnold R. Bits, Bitting and Spanish Horses. Alamar Media, Inc., 2010. Mr. Rojas was a horsemen raised in the Spanish vaquero style. In reading his many books one will also learn that even the Vaqueros did not mostly ride the spade bit. Cowboys rarely rode spade bits, but they were not "masters" by any stretch of the imagination. They often used high ported bits such as the half breed. But not the spade. Deb Bennett, PhD. Conquerors, The Roots of New World Horsemanship. Amigo Publications, 1998 is an excellent reference on the subject of the spade bit. Many of the "masters" of today go to the Spanish Riding School and learn to ride the classical Jimenta style. Ed Connell. Reinsman of the West: Briddles and Bits explains the training necessary for getting a horse in the spade bit. Few people take the years required to train both themselves and to find the one in a hundred horse that is adaptable to the spade bit. I couldn't agree with you more about the current reining competitions of today. The reason for the spade bit is about the collection obtainable with the spade bit using only one hand while performing work with the other. No other bit will accomplish that, with the small movement of the hands.
Spades do not cause damage in the proper hands. Damage can be caused in a hackamore and a snaffle as well. I get your point though.@@sirronmitt
I should have said a well made spade.
Sus vídeos están muy bien, muy informativos, se disfruta al verlos. Espero que se encuentren bien pues ya hace tiempo que no veo un vídeo nuevo. ¿Cuando volverán a hacer vídeos?
Great video.would be interested in seeing the tie up slower and from different angles
Superb.......where,when, how much
Wow the horse is just moving off his seat thats how all horses should be riden no need to yank on there mouth all the the time great video 👍🏾
Bruce has an excellent system for developing good bridle horses.
@@LiveEquestrian1 absolutely
Mecate is a good tool, a component of the traditional hackamore. A rope halter with lead line converted to reins is more versatile.
I wish these were longer videos, I could listen to there stories all day.
I’m going to one of Les Vogt clinics in a few weeks very excited to learn from him!
I'm a midlle-aged horse woman from Michigan who grew up in open shows and the Quarter Horse world. And I hated the spade bit because I watched so many riders with beautiful mounts so far beyond my financial means who ruined them weekend after weekend jerking behind the judges back trying to get the horses nose to the ground. Now, as in so many things equestrian, I realize that it isn't the bit, it is the rider using the wrong tool incorrectly. Thanks for this! I have the time now and the experience to value re-education and plan to learn more.
Love it. Yep I was similar.
How can I ask Steve about doing a project for me?
check out rawhidebraider.com
This is great guys. I can't wait to see more!
tell Scott I'm sure glad a river didn't run through his bedroll while someone was giggling from the horse trailer all nice and dry. HAHAHAh
Love your videos keep it uo
Bryan and Patti's is the only clinic I've ever been to and I've been able to use what I learned there on every horse I've worked with since. And it is the little things that make it happen easily. We also had a good time of fellowship to boot!
Wow! Such a well-crafted and interesting poem, Duane!
If you took the religion out of your program it would appeal to a much wider audience. I was immediately turned off by that. I love Pat and Deb tho!
Chinaco!
Super excellent explanation of posting trot....I sent it to some of my students! BTW, there are a few of us whose fat blocky feet just dont fit in pointy toes! Still can pick up stirrups on the fly though, no problem!
