Med tanke på de diskussioner om stångbett som varit här, och med tanke på hur vårdslöst många använder stångbettet vill jag rekommendera denna artikel av den nyligen avlidne von Neindorf
http://www.classicaldressage.com/articles/neindorff2.html
särsklit sista stycket:
"Those who have experienced how playfully easily even a big moving horse remains on the rider's driving aids, how he is guided through all patterns and movements, and can be halted any time, just to follow the releasing rein hand impulsively forward, when the curb is used appropriately and if the horse is sufficiently prepared, will appreciate the value of the double bridle. They will also guard themselves against its premature or rough use. Those who are as yet unfamiliar with the curb's effect, and hence its dangers, should make a simple test with their own body - an experiment with which I have convinced numerous, even experienced, riders. Place a curb bit over your shinbone and a curb chain that is attached to its hooks on both sides behind your calf. Even a small arret on the rein enables you through a noticeable pressure on your shinbone to imagine what the horse has to feel when the curb is used harshly. Therefore again: The curb belongs only into the hand of the mature and thus sensitive rider!"
Något för oss alla att läsa och begrunda tillsammans med en god portion självinsikt
