re: Who raises cows on the OB

Good bit, that's all I use. When I say snaffle I am refering to a non leverage bit. Leverage bits are good if the horse has been trained properly in the snaffle or halter first.

#1 rule is if you make contact on the bit he must give to the bit. Do not release until he dose.

And make sure you use a leather curb strap just to keep it from pulling through his mouth.
