It’s not uncommon to see certain behaviors in our horses that raise questions. Or, we’ve all heard certain myths being propagated as truths throughout the horse community. Evidence-Based Horsemanship is working to dispel those myths and answer the “whys” behind horse behavior. Dr. Stephen Peters, a neuropsychologist who specializes in brain functioning, teamed up with fifth-generation horseman and internationally known clinician Martin Black to write and collaborate on Evidence-Based Horsemanship. EBH, as it’s commonly called, combines Peters’ understanding of brain function with Black’s keen observation of subtle horse behavior to create “best practices” in all areas of horse training and care. In this DVD, you will hear from them both on the exciting new scientific discoveries that can directly benefit all horses and horse owners. Running Time: 1 Hour

Tom Dorrance Talks About Horses - True Unity - Willing Communication Between Horse and Human - Edited by Milly Hunt Porter. Tom Dorrance has been referred to as the "horse's lawyer." Tom gives the horse credit for his knowledge of a horse's feelings and problems. He says, "What I know about the horse I learned from the horse." Now, in True Unity, Tom shared some of these ideas to help achieve a true unity for human and horse. In talking about the horse Tom mentions often the horse's need for self preservation. The Self Tom approaches in the horse is a total entity. True Unity allows the reader to feel and see the horse in the way Tom sees and feels the horse. It allows the reader to approach the horse with Tom - to approach the horse with a feeling of acceptance for the value of the whole horse - physical, mental and innermost horse. A unique bonus feature of True Unity is a chapter presenting some of Tom's students as they share how Tom's help with their horses changed their horses and their lives. Paperback, 151 pages

By popular demand, I’ve had this particular bit replicated for my customers. Each one is hand made with this particular oblong shape and precisely curved mouth. The rings and the mouth measure exactly the same. I've found this bit to give the horse the best feel of any of snaffle I have tried. Polished Steel 5" in width.
