    What’s your opinion on slobber straps?
    And where do I (a person living in Europe) get good, heavy, reins?

    • @lucasa1849
      @lucasa1849 4 роки тому

      ltrocha . Do slobber straps make your horse slobber? I thought they were just there to add more feel to the reins.

      @@lucasa1849 From my understanding, slobber straps exist to give the horse a "pre-signal" (they'll feel the weight of the slobber straps moving before the bit itself is fully engaged).

    Glad I asked "What's a Snaffle." I love horses. Don't have one and rode one once, in my youth. But I LOVE Western Everything.

    Espero que el maestro Larry Trocha pueda entenderme. Yo soy italiano y no hablo ingles(I'm italian and I don't speak english). Quisiera saber si es posible obtener un contacto e-mail del senor Trocha. Lo necesito para hablar directamente con el y saber si fuera posible pasar un mes de entrenamiento bajo su direccion en su ranch. Si el senor Trocha lee este mensaje espero que me conteste aqui mismo. Yo me llamo Fernando Fortunato

    Would you use a martingale on Gaited horses?

    • @ponygirl6258
      @ponygirl6258 4 роки тому

      Generally speaking, no. Most gaited horses have a naturally high head-set, so using a martingale or tie-down may interfere with their gait.

      Hi Chad, I think Pony Girl is right but I really don't know much about gaited horses.

    And each snaffle bit contacts the same area of the bars and tongue , correct or not ? How is the mouth
    Being kept fresh ?
    Heavy hands and repetition pulling repeatedly is what I see and trainers refer to it as softening the face.
    I wish all well , mostly the horse

      Hi Brad, Lightness is the key. Without it, you have nothing.

    • @ltrocha
      @ltrocha  2 роки тому +1

      Brad, let me expand... Most riders have absolutely NO idea what light means. They think a rider's hands should be soft and GIVING. If a rider does that, they will cause the horse to PULL on their hands. It truly is a fallacy. The average horse owner is so clueless, they cause their own problems. I wish I could educate them... however, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink!

    That thin wire bit really borders on abuse in the wrong hands. Anything other than a thick snaffle bit can be punishment. I would rather start with a rope halter with good knots and only go to the snaffle when he gets a little numb to it but never anything more harsh. If you truly need thin thin wires or Tom Thumb shank bits, the horse has other issues. If you put that thin wire snaffle twisted or not in the wrong hands, you can easily cut up a horse's mouth and cause some real bad behaviors and phobias. I hope only very advanced riders with lots of experience ever attempt trying anything harsher than the thick snaffle. I like to use a rubber or plastic snaffle and the horse responds very well as long as you have soft hands and don't numb the horse to it. Just my opinion. Just don't want novices trying any thin metal bits...... Keep up the good training and advice.

    • @ltrocha
      @ltrocha  7 років тому +13

      Any piece of equipment in the wrong hands can be abusive if not used properly. We're talking about performance horses here. Horses that need to be finger tip light during advanced maneuvers. A rope halter just isn't going to cut it at that level of training. While your concern about amateurs is truly appreciated, it's not a perfect world and it never will be.

  • @charlesabbott5563

    I disagree Mr. Trocha 95% of a horses training should be done in a hackamore and you should never use a leverage bit.
