When training young horses "There are many types of bits for many different disciplines, but the severity of ALL bits lies in the hands holding them."

I cannot imagine my life without horses. They have been my teachers, my friends, my business partners and my entertainment.

Everybody ought to be given a chance to do whatever they want, but be responsible for their own actions.
