Thank you to Roo for sending me this link. Stacy Westfall demonstrating that you don’t need a curb or, indeed, anything but good horsemanship, to be a reiner. The antidote to Craig Schmersal.

The piece you are missing here is that Stacy does not just hop on a horse and train it bitless. They all start with a bit.
I would be very surprised if she used that bit like Craig Schmersal. And I’d be equally surprised if Schmersal could do that with any of his horses. :)
