I don't care who uses it or who endorses it, it is a severe bit especially
for a green horse. I am sure Tellington-Jones has a theory why such a
severe bit, but I 100% do not agree with using such a bit for training.
Her methods have done horse owners and horses a lot of good, but I think
she has really missed the boat on this one.
