Robart Robart Pinchless Junior Western Pleasure Bit – 5 $57.4 Robart PRECISION Bits have patented internal springs that allows the port to return to a neutral position quickly upon dropping the rein, giving immediate reward for correct behavior. Great for shoulder control and keeping a lower head set. Why a Pinchless Bit? A horse is a flight and fight animal. If the bit is hurting the horses mouth he is going to respond with fight or flight. Neither of these responses are condusive to training, competing or riding. Take the pain away and you instantly modify their behavior and response to your instructions. The Pinchless bit swivels at the bars, rather than relying on the center link to swivel, eliminating the possibility of pinching the tongue. Also it gives a more consistant and immediate signal to your horse, so his response time is reduced, with less pressure. If a horse is not new to the bit and is still gapping his mouth, excessive mouth movement or tossing his head, you will want to try a pinchless bit. Using a pinchless bit on a young horse will prevent inflicting pain, keeping the experience less streeful, resulting in easier and improved learning for the horse. A revolutionary idea and bit designed to implement it! Instead of training and working a horse on the basis of creating pain,the patented David Robart bit corrects by using pressure and eliminating the pain. Truly a clever design. Great bit to help horse transition to a finished look.Size:  5

Now that you decided to take up horse riding as a new hobby, there are some terms you should become familiar with. One such term is western tack. Often referred to as cowboy tack, is commonly used more for the purpose for riding on the open range, in rodeo events, western horse shows, or on ranches and farms throughout North and South America. English tack is commonly found throughout Europe.

Western saddles are equipped with a horn and leather skirts to help hold the saddle in place during hard riding. You’ll also commonly find Western saddles with a deep seat which is also padded for additional comfort. Also, stirrups are placed so that the rider’s feet are directly under them, allowing the rider to stand and throw a rope if needed.

There are some differences between Western tack and English tack. For example, western saddles do not use padding and therefore involve using a horse blanket. English saddles don’t use horn, while a western saddle has a horn. The horn’s function is to hold a rope when you are out riding to lasso livestock or simply for your added convenience.

While the horse blanket is sometimes thought of more of as a stable supply than a piece of riding equipment, it is still connected to western tack. As a matter of fact, blankets are a fundamental addition to your assortment of horse care objects. Horse blankets have many more purposes than to keep the horse warm during cool nights or after a long ride. I’ve heard stories of riders spend the night out on the range and cuddling up snuggle up with their horse to share its blanket for warmth. While these are extreme cases, the do demonstrate the many uses and functions a horse blanket serves. On a nice and warm summer night, you could always use the horse blanket as a pillow or something to lie on.

Obviously, there is more to horse riding and western tack than just the saddle. It also involves fundamental items such as breast collars, webbing, western bridles, roping reins, training supplies, spurs, cinches, girths, pads, horse blankets, stirrups, halters, leads, and finally horseshoes.

It can be a little overwhelming at first but with a little research and time, you’ll be an experienced rider. There’s a great deal of information available about horses, western tack, and how to care for horses out there. Begin by asking another experienced rider, a veterinarian, or the shop owners where to buy your horse riding equipment. They should have plenty of hands on experience working with horses and can point you in the right direction.

Ted Stinson is an equine enthusiast who writes various articles on horses and the best methods of caring for a horse. Many of his topics include subjects ranging from the best western tack to use to what type of equine supplements work best.

what is a good brand for saddle soap for cleaning horse tack?

i just started riding this horse and the tack room is filled with leather like bridals,western saddles, bits ,different head pieces,and training equipment the owner of it all asked me to clean it but it is my first time doing it and the leather is really old so i don’t want to mess it up

so i was wondering what would be a good brand of saddle soap and what type of clothes and sponges should i get?

and if you have any advise on how to clean it that would be great thanks.

My friend uses Fiebing’s Saddle Soap. I recently bought some and it works really well; no greasy or filmy residue left over on it. I like to use a nice soft old rag or really soft sponge that they use on cars for polishing.
