Have you ever spent money on a bit hoping that your horse would love it, but they ended up hating it?
Are you tired of dishonest marketing from big bit companies that just want to get you to buy their bit?
Have you been told that bits are BAD but are still curious if they could actually help your horse?
Do you enjoy a good laugh and like to keep things casual but informative?
Daniel could have been like any other guy: hang out a shingle and profess to do great feats with horses. Instead, Daniel has committed to the journey, an arduous, educational one which includes learning from vets, other trainers, researchers, and scientific references of all kinds. It includes daily humility as Daniel applies what he's learned to his work. It requires an open mind and an ability to adjust to what the horses are telling him.
One peeve of mine in our horse industry, and something that is, in fact, supported by research: as experts get more recognized, they also get more dogmatic. They listen less and lose their 'beginner's mind.' I hope Daniel is more and more recognized as a leader in our industry and I'm confident he'll always keep it humble and, oh, very, very funny."
potentially complicated concepts, but this course was beyond informative. It was downright engaging and fun! And don't be fooled by the title. This information is 10% about bits and 90% about improving your horsemanship. It will make you re-think some of the ways you approach riding every day. Get ready to learn... and laugh."
