About Bits: Snaffle vs. Curb (Episode 103) - Herm Gailey

Bits can be a useful tool or an instrument of destruction; it is the rider's choice. This is the first of a series of videos aimed at helping you make the right decisions in the use of bits. About Herm Gailey: Herm Gailey has spent a lifetime with horses. He is a nonprofessional rider who starts and trains his own horses to successful careers in multiple disciplines. Away from the show ring Herm retains a deep respect and appreciation for good reliable trail riding horses and believes that all horses benefit from this type of riding. There is nothing for sale here. If these videos allow one person to avoid fear, frustration, or injury or help one horse get a better deal, then that is payment in full.
