What is the tail pull for? And--today in my riding lesson I questioned if I could use a side pull on my lesson horse because I feel my hands aren't that great--my coach then said that I'd never learn to have great hands unless the horse has a bit, and the bit is for communication which you don't get with a sidepull.
So--of course I want to know about everyone elses experiences--can one communicate equally without a bit? V
