QUESTIONI just finished watching the April DVD and all I can say is this is whatI joined the Savvy Club to see—top-notch ideas and instruction forthose of us who have been doing this for some time now! I had aquestion though. I didn't think that Erin was riding in a cradle bridle,was she? I am a bit confused because Myler told me that myRight-Brain Extrovert horse would probably not want the C1mouthpiece if we were in Level 2. Linda's recommendation for Erin'shorse (who is Level 3+) still involved more mouth contact. But,further along in the segment, she noted that his mouth movementhad lessened. This left me very uncertain as to what the final thoughtwas for the best mouthpiece for this horse. Help? - Paula

ANSWERSo glad to hear you're enjoying the new educational format for Savvy Club DVD's, thanks for letting us know. You're right, Erin was notriding in a Cradle and when she does, things will get even better. The Cradle is a much better tool than the snaffle for riding with contact as it shares the contact between nose and mouth instead of it being 100% in the horse's mouth. It is especially beneficial when riding with contact is new for the horse or rider, but even at the level I am now riding Remmer the Cradle continues to feel fantastic.

The reason Erin's horse's mouth got more quiet during the lesson is because she started to relax emotionally, and her weight shifted more to the hindquarters rather than the forehand. She started to carry herself and not dive onto the bit. So it's not all about the bit, but having the right tool as she advances more will make a huge difference to the comfort level of the horse.

I'm sorry if I confused you, I guess I was thinking out loud as I was teaching... but if the horse is Left-Brain it will need a #3 mouthpiece, and if it is more Right-Brain and tends to lack confidence then the #2 will be the right one to pursue Level 3-4 because it has some tongue contact and some tongue release. The #1 is more for younger horses just starting in the bit, or more mature yet challenging Right-Brain horses because you need to be able to get control (one rein) but not hurt them in the mouth. The tongue contact helps unconfident horses feel more supported and secure, yet it's claustrophobic for Left-Brain horses.

The extensive studies that Myler has done over the years haschanged the approach to bitting dramatically, and learning how theychoose bits according to the horse's tendencies/behaviors helped usput it straight into our Horsenality™ model so our students could beempowered to make the choice for themselves. So long as you knowwhat Horsenality behavior your horse is exhibiting when you ride, youcan follow our suggestions for Cradle choice and it will work. For moreinformation CLICK HERE

Scottish Playday

Some of us Scottish students got together for a playday, and we thought we'd share a few photos. We had a blast with some great challenges provided by Sue and Len in their Parelli playpark at Bankhead Farm in Fife. They had set up a series of obstacles where each partnership had to play the Seven Games while also doing a task like carrying cups of water, pitching socks (!!) or balancing potatoes. As usual, the Parelli program brought out the best in everybody. The kids got busy, and thanks to their high level of Savvy did most everything independently. Meanwhile the adults didn't take things too seriously and behaved just like kids! Luckily it was the longest day of the year (and up here in Scotland that means around 20 hours of daylight) because nobody wanted to stop and go in the house! -Kris
