Mouthing the horse is the most crucial thing you
will ever do or have done as you start your career down the long and
windy road to success or failure. Which of those roads often depends
upon your survival of the 'green horse period' and whether or not
the horse was successful in bucking or running through the bridle at
all.
Mouthing of the horse is the number one foundation
stone that can provide you with so many add on benefits, the
protection of your investment and of your safety.
I am a student of 'mouthing', it is my fetish :) I
have closely observed and tested the product of the mouthing of
every horse that I have ever sat on and that has been now over
17,000. I rate them on a scale of 0-10 and in two ways. The front
brakes as I call them, the pull on two reins to stop which is what
most people unfortunately do with young horses and the most
important side of the mouth, the laterals. I think I put a 10 on my
horses. The best I have felt on others has been a rear 8 and mostly
6.5.
I have lost count of the wrecks that I have seen or
been asked to fix where people have had young horses run away with
them or bucked them off and this all gets back to mouthing. The best
way to ruin the entire breaking in process and therefore lose your
$$$$ investment is for there to occur a disaster under saddle during
the formative time. The time after you have your young horse handed
back to you and you have to survive. You cannot afford mistakes and
if there are none, you will end with the perfect horse.
The finished mouth, depending upon the system, also
ha a direct link to how easy or difficult it is for the owner to put
a head set on the horse depending upon their chosen discipline. The
amount of resistance present dictates how difficult the task may or
may not be and that all comes back to the mouthing system.
There are two aspects of the mouthing system period.
The time with the Breaker/Trainer where it is their responsibility
to install the best mouth possible and then the period after hand
over where the owner has to cope and the mouth has to be RETAINED!!
What the Trainer does depends on the mouthing system they use and
the mouth can only be as good as the system allows. There are many:
-
The long reining system
-
The side pull system
-
The get on and mouth them under saddle
-
The walk along side the horse and make out you
are on it. Steering and stopping at the walk.
-
The John Lyons system
-
Tying heads around and back systems
-
Tying heads to tails or hind legs systems
-
Natural Horsemanship systems with rope halter
-
The John O'Leary system
You will see on the video mentioned below, a young
horse offering 'long and low' on the first ride out of the Round Pen
and after only 45 minutes of ridden training from totally unbroken
and in fact feral. To the competition Rider, this must be a huge
bonus. I know it is to Mrs. HP.
I am not going to go into the quality of each system
but I am going to blatantly announce that mine is light years ahead
of the rest and to back it up, I have $10,000 ready for any
challenger who wants to match it. There, that blatant enough?
 I
have never come out and really promoted or marketed any of my
Products but this time I am and I don't apologize for so doing.
Trainers, owners and horses everywhere can benefit immensely by
switching to it. Go here to buy it.
The Yanks do it so why can't I ? :)
Having said that, there is only one mouthing system
on this Planet that can re-educate stuffed mouths and problem
horses. There is only one mouthing system on the Planet that can be
used to stop horses bucking and to train it out of them. It is mine
and I am proud of that. Hardly known in Australia and not known OS,
any owner can do it and get a better mouth than a Trainer and any
Trainer who wants a career change should avail themselves of it.
**** I get asked each week how to
stop horse bucking. This system can be used in the round
pen to prove to the horse that you can stop it bucking
no matter how furious it is going, brain wash it that
you can stop it bucking and then carry it forward under
saddle with the new found lightness of the lateral
mouth. Saves lives and limb!!!!
When an owner/breaker first gets on a horse they are
starting, they are completely in the 'lap of the Gods' for if the
horse wants to buck and run, there is nothing in this World that
they can do to stop it. No mouthing system that I know of can
achieve this. Mine can and does daily.
So having opened up my big mouth, I had better prove
it, right? Go here and watch this. These are my two current
Breakers/Starters and the video will say the rest.
Every week, I hear people say, "The
horse scooted on my (run) " My system is the only one
that I have met that will produce a front mouth that
good that no matter what happens behind the young horse,
they will not run through your hands, not even for 5
metres.
