Bridles and bits are the fundamental means of communication between horse and rider, yet their correct selection and proper use are the least understood aspects of horsemanship and training. This book dispels the myths and provides information about the importance of mouth anatomy in bit selection, proper dentistry and mouth care, selection and use of various bitless bridles, how to teach a horse to accept a bit without fear or resistance, when to change bits, and more. Riders learn all they need to make educated, humane, and logical choices about bit and bridle selection.

In Turning Base, Betsy Lynch examines transience, love and grief, parenting, learning to let go and not learning to let go, teaching and learning, recovery, fear and aging, awareness of God, doubt, and powerlessness. Above all, she seeks connectedness; we are not the first to live tragedy, comedy, great divisions, madness, mortality. Humor and humility help. The theme, Wind Perceptions, presented itself as the single most compelling common denominator and metaphor of her adult life: "I seek awareness of weather conditions, spiritual, emotional, political, and physical, she says. I seek guidance, whether to go with the wind or against it, seek lift, or descent; I cross it, relish it, use it, shelter from it, or simply accept it, palms open upward: no matter what path I choose, I can't change the wind." Turning Base, now, descending before final approach, landing, the earth reaches up gently, and perhaps it is benevolent. Or perhaps, it simply is. "Listen to my story, come close. And listen to your own story in response. Maybe my story will become part of your story."
