A "Bit" of Information, Part II

Hello there!

This has been quite the winter for cold and snow, but as I write this, the white hills outside the office are slowly melting and the sun shines brightly through the window, promising warmer days ahead. Soon the ground will dry up and we can all get back to our beloved riding and training!

In the last installment of our newsletter, we discussed bit mechanics and the basic types of bit. In this second of a two-part series, we bring you a discussion of some commonly used bits, how they work, and how they are best employed. View the informative article in our Archives.


We wish all of you a happy and prosperous 2011, and hope to see some of you in the coming year!

Your friends,

Chardy Shealy and Shanna Nelson



Featured horse:
BBF CHILYPSO SEAFIRE

“Chilypso” is all personality. His pedigree, conformation and carriage all qualify him as tough competition. His flashy fewspot leopard coloration will get him attention in and out of the show ring. Chilypso is well started under saddle, and he is going nicely at a walk, trot, and canter. His fun and willing attitude makes him a joy to work with. Much of his training has been in Western tack, and he shows considerable aptitude for use as a gymkhana horse. Chilypso's intelligence and liveliness would also make him a great trick horse! View his video here. For more information, please email Shanna.
