* What he progresses to after the snaffle
* Why setting the chin strap length correctly is vital to a horse’s response
* Difference between a chain and leather chin strap
* Why shank length and angles differ on bits
* Explains the difference between the Argentine, Milt Bennett and Buster Welch bits
