Hi Sir, great video...i would like to know where do you buy your boots, and which brand are they...it would be great if you could do a video about them. Specially the one you used in the video about taming a wild horse. Thanks
Question. When you can ride without having metal in a horsemouth.. and have great control.. why use it at all, it IS a pain tool after all. Love the reins.
Hi! Well the truth is that you have better control with a bit sooner. It takes a lot more work and patience to use only a bit less bridle. No bit causes horses pain, it’s the people at the end of the reins that cause the horse pain by being harsh. If you are gentle and know what you are doing then using a bit does not have to be a painful experience for the horse.
@@HorsePerfect Thank you for answering. I guess we will have to agree to disagree on that. Bits are designed to cause discomfort/pain, and there are so many types to pick from:),( and most people do not have gentle enough hands, or use the reins to just hang on.) Still love your videos:)
Yes some bits are designed to be more harsh. And I would never use or recommend them. Although a bit sitting in a horses mouth doesn’t hurt the horse, the pain starts when someone starts to touch the reins. The same way a whip is not evil until someone starts to use it. I really don’t think I disagree at all with what you are saying it’s very true 😔
Really interesting. In the UK I haven't seen this style being used. But I can see how incredibly versatile it is.
Yes I haven’t seen it much in the UK either. You can however use these with an English setup! Just have to find something to tie the rope to.
Great video. Very thorough. New subscriber here!
Thanks for subscribing! 🤩🔥
Can you do the last part, where you kind of turn the lead rope portion into a halter, a little slower and close up?
I'll make a note to do that video! It could be a while before I get around to it as the list of waiting videos is extremely long 😅
I like them
Also, what saddle are you using? Hope you see this.
I use a western saddle. The one in this video is actually a barrel racing saddle. I like it because it holds me in better on young green broke horses.

Hi there, I will keep that in mind! Maybe make a quick video on them! 😊👍🏼

I don't think I'd leave a horse tied overnight like that. Hobbles, at best... bears and such.
Yea best to use a halter and a tie ring when tying for longer periods!
What length are your reins?
In total the Mecate is 22ft I think.
The loop for the rein part is about 9-11ft depending on the horses neck length
@@HorsePerfect Thank you very much!
where did you find those?
There is a link in the video description that takes you right to where I get mine!
thank you
