Western Riding; Should a horse verbs to a curb/shank bit once it is well-broke contained by a ring snaffle?

I was just now visiting my parent's fish farm over Christmas, and we had some cattle to move. I rode my little sister's horse, Challis, since within were so masses family member present and we barely have enough horses and saddle to go around.

Challis is 7 years infirm, a level-headed Quarter Horse (or so I thought!), and my youngest sister have trained him and been riding him on the sheep farm for the past five years. He is amazingly experienced with cattle and common Western riding, so I expected a pleasant ride and fun with my siblings.

I should details that when saddling up and assigning saddle and bridles among all of the horses, I opt for a shank bit with a broken mouth (not a Tom Thumb, but similar; a reining style bit) and put that on Challis. My sister spotted me getting primed to mount up, and said, "No...you can't use that bit on him."

(...oops, out of room. more details coming soon.)


Answers:    I don't think buckaroo have much to do with this at adjectives, since I sell relatively a bit of tack to the buckaroo people and they do not adjectives ride with snaffles. Most will graduate their horses up to a curb bit so they can join the romal reins and rein chains along with the super fancy curb bit. Buckaroo is process more if a mode of dress than a way of riding. I chew over it is more of the "new trend" that have people within a mind set that a snaffle is the gentlest bit, so they stay with it. Kinda resembling leaving your young person in kindergarten. It is comfortable on them, but they are not advancing much within their education. I reflect on horses should be "graduated" into a shank bit. As long as the hands holding them hold some education, most shank bits are not that severe. How tight the curb manacle is detemines more than anything how severe the bit is. I do swtich back and forth from a curb to a snaffle, if one of my horses requests a bit if fine tuning or is getting a little stiff on his flexing, but adjectives of mine by the time they reach age 4 hold been put into a curb bit. While I know it is mouth-watering to tell her she requests to switch him over (and I agree in this), it is also her horse and so she have the final say surrounded by what she rides him in. And if she like this bit and this "look", then permit her do it. Telling some people how to train their horses is sometimes similar to telling them how to angle their kids. It is just better not to influence anything at all. Unless they ask you. And later you still have to think twice how and what you say to them.
It depends on where on earth i ride. If I'm riding in the arena after I use my ring snaffle(when I'm riding western). But when I go outside and anything bridle I'm using I have to transport off and put my bridal on that have a tom thumb bit because he refuses to stop and the snaffle bit does nil. It just cause a fight and he is running approaching a crazy man. But with the Tom Thumb he stops.
