@whitestarline08 well i dont really care i think shes nice!!
I’m a beginner rider and I know hot to put a bit in but I always get scared that when I put the bit in my horses mouth he will end up biting me. He’s super sweet and isn’t known for biting unless I give him a treat lol can someone help my odd phobia?
@horseanddoglover777 Dont be scared! Horses know when your nervous around them. Have the bit on your hand and make sure your hand is flat. And with your thumb put it into the very corner of there mouth (Don’t worry they don’t have any teeth there) The horse should open it’s mouth and all you have to do is pull the bridle back
Brrrr….. Looks Soo Cold!
i get my horses to put there heads down and stay there so its so much easier i am going to make a video like this doing my way because if u got a horse that tosses its head it will be so much easier if they put there head down.
I find it funny how people watch these videos if they already know how to do it. Lol. =)
well .. you stopped RIGHT where I needed help, though ..
THAT IS NOT A HARSH BIT!
this is a really good video(: I can put a saddle on easily, take the bridel off easily too, but I have the toughest time putting the bridel on…the horse is always trying to get away, or moving its head.
lol, i can see the horses breath
i thought u have to do the buckles for the noseband and stuff? and that horse is pretty(:
I’ve got a question and i would really appreciate it if anyone can answer: When you are putting the bridle over the horses ears and she said to put it on one ear at a time can you start with any ear?
@alinabestfriendsafia yes you can, it oesn’t really matter, like she siad, just do one at the time
thank you for taking your time to help people put on a bridle this has helped me alot.
I gotta totally agree on the well mannered horse comment. The 33 year old arabian I enjoy is so stubborn about wanting to do what SHE wants to. Getting a bit in her mouth is a trial ’cause she just raises her head sky high so I can’t reach. I made the mistake ONE time of standing in front of her trying to get the bit in and she jerked her head up. I’d LOVE to know how to keep her head down where I can reach!
thanx this helped alot and now im gonna do great on my worker test!
@XxGiveMeMalicexX i so agree with you,
Thanks!
I look so stupid trying to get the bridle on this pony…
She loves to snap her head up once i get the bit in her mouth.
I’ll try your tips next time i ride.
@alinabestfriendsafia
Since your most likely to be on the left of the horse, start with the left ear, so your not accidentally going to hurt her. so pretty much “Start with the ear closest to you”
My horse always puts his head up like a griaffe ugh! I’m always saying “put your head down silly!” I love him though <3Windser<3
I learned that when i was 3
trust me guys its not that easy….!
My horse always throws his head up when I do that.
That was ALL wrong…that horse had his ears pinned the whole time you were there, and you put yourself in harms way everytime your touched the horse. Why don’t you bridle 15 colts in one day that have never been bridled, then you would learn how to bridle. Its sad that 60K people watched this and some thought they actually learned something.
After you do this. Do you have to tighten it or let it be lose.
