Curb Bits: A Lesson in Leverage (Episode 153) - Herm Gailey: A Lifetime with Horses

The unifying principle of all curb bits is leverage. The strength lever is determined by the purchase to length ratio. In this video we explore the concept of leverage in curb 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.
