I agree. They are wondeful bits. I have used one myself and it helped my high-headed horse learn to keep his head down.

All of u are dense. Collection starts with the reins and bit. A horse needs to learn how to react to bit pressure before you start working on collection. That’s basically what this video is explaining.
For those who think the rider’s not releasing, it may be because the horse isn’t correctly giving to the pressure. A horse may put its head down, but that doesn’t mean it’s giving to the bit. The object is to NOT release until the horse gives correctly. In my eyes, I didn’t see it do so.

First of all, I …
First of all, I agree with below, it takes tons more than just your hands to collect a horse. Also, this whole video the rider is asking and asking and asking for collection, and when he does what she’s asking she doesn’t give him a release? That’s why he’s tossing his head!

It really worries me that these people are teaching others that know no better about collection etc. The ‘teachers’ really don’t have a clue. Expert village?? What is this sh1t?!

If you haven’t seen the Myler Bit video, A Whole Bit Better”, I highly suggest it for anyone who may not understand the mechanics of bitting a horse and how it works in the horses mouth. I do not own a Myler bit, yet, but plan on trying them basis the info given.

although this is a method of collextion, I think collection is made by teaching the horse to properly balance and not with the reins. with using the rein and not teaching the horse to balnce by using slower gaits and proper turns, the horse wont use his hindquarters as much, he will just bend his neck.

I think that it is …
I think that it is rather contradicting to assume that you should make your horse submit to anything. I do believe that collection is very important especially when showing, however it is a partnership and submission is NEVER the answer, perhaps a different word should have been used.

If she goes good in side reins try holding your rains low and snug so they simulate side reins when you ride. This a good schooling exercise. I am training a saddle seat horse, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work for a hunter jumper.

collection and submission are not even similar…it’s obvious that everyone at expert village is clueless!

Many western riders actually care a lot about showing off their tasteless outfits, especially in western pleasure. Some riders’ attitude and looks make me wanna puke on their shiny shoes.

A collected horse is more balanced and is under better control. Every horse should be able to collect.

I am training my arabian mare(hunter/jumper is my disipline) and I was wondering how if her head is to lower when trying to collect her? I am having a very hard time in the saddle to figure out if she is giving to bit because it seems that she raises her head. When I lunge her using side reins I can clearly see that she is giving.How can I get her relaxed undersaddle?

Don’t you want your horse to be fit and supple and responsive when you ride him? whats it got to do with shows?

Collection is about …
Collection is about alot more then just “looking pretty” in the ring. Its teaching a horse to “use” himself and engage his hind quarters. Western riders just as much want to have collection as any english rider! Collection is needed for ANY disipline!
