Comparing the Shank and Snaffle Bits - Terry Myers

Ohio 4-H board member and national clinician Terry Myers talks about the difference between using a snaffle bit and a shank bit. A snaffle bit is designed for lateral movements with a horse, while a shank bit should be used by lifting the hands upwards instead of outward for slight but gentle contact to prevent the horse from bracing against your contact. Terry demonstrates this by showing how bridles hung on a wall move with varying rein pressure, a great visual for what happens inside your horse’s mouth that you may never have seen before.

Thank you for this simple teaching. I have never had anyone explain the difference and it makes total sense. I also bought a combo comfort meyer bit after talking to Dale and it's been one of the best purchases I have made for safety and my horse.
