My biggest “hole” in my training (that I know of) is my knowledge of bits.  You explain pretty good about the snaffle bits.  I don’t have a couple grand to go out and buy a bunch of tom balding bits.  With that said what bits would you say are “must haves” and what do you stay away from?  The only snaffle I have is an old O ring that’s super heavy like literally probably 3lbs.  I worry it’s too much for most young horses.  I got it to soften up an old stiff rope horse years ago.  

I have a 3 year old filly and am excited to work with her and the ES 20 Program. I have a question about Day 1 already..lol should she have wolf teeth removed before starting with the snaffle or are we ok to go ahead now? 

When I do one rein stops or work on speed control by getting my 3 year old filly’s attention she has started to try to bite my foot.  I’ve kinda ignored it or just bend her the other way but every day it’s getting worse and not better.  Is this just an immaturity thing or is there some underlying issue, like could she be hurting? 

Hey there. I have a 10yr old Arab gelding that absolutely cannot stand while tied. He just paws, whinnies, dances around and acts a fool. Luckily he doesn’t pull back at all. I wish I could figure out how to post a video of what he does to show y'all. I’ve tried to move his feet when he does it but I end up doing that for hours (not over exaggerating) I’ve only tried doing that twice because it doesn’t seem to help at all. Any suggestions on what I can try

Hey there!  Question - how is Ike doing?  I haven't seen anything about him, it's possible I missed it!

I had a question when I get off my horse to doctor a calf my horse ends up walking away and I have to go get her, is there a way to get her not to do that? 

Speed control on a seven-year-old broke gelding in a snaffle bit?

I was looking for some tips and tricks for different ways of going about worming, or administering anything orally for a young horse. I have a four year old whom is not head shy at all whenever I go to bridle him, but as soon as he sees any sort of syringe anywhere near his face he turns into a different horse. I’ve had some success just trying to put my hands over his his like I would be bridling him and then sneak a finger in the corner of his mouth, and that was working for a bit but he has become wise to it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! 

We've made it home safe from or epic adventure in France and we have all been forever changed by the experience.  The people were welcoming, the accommodations were perfect, and the food was incredible!  All I can say is that we will be back.  Here are a few pics, I'll share more as I can.

I had the pleasure of teaching a Beginnner Cow Horse clinic yesterday in Elbert, CO.  I had a great time and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.  Today I'm sticking around to show Lucky and Hot Wheels in a jackpot cutting at the same facility.  I'll let yall know how it goes!
