MULETALK PODCAST – A BIT ABOUT COMMUNICATION – ACHIEVING BALANCE & HARMONY
MEREDITH HODGES - LUCKY THREE RANCH
- Different types of bits and the metals used to develop in
equine bits
· Snaffle bits and the different types that are recommended to
use on your mule or donkey
· Curb/leverage bits used in Western riding
· The difference between a curb bit and a snaffle bit
· Bridles and headstalls for your mule/donkey
· Learning to go forward in the beginning of your equine’s
training in a snaffle bridle is paramount to properly
developing his body
· He will learn to carry a rider in a strong and solid frame and
in good equine posture
· The forward training teaches him to stretch his head and
neck forward, to step well underneath his body to propel
himself forward
· Elongate his overall frame to keep the vertebrae in his back
from becoming compressed and rigid
· When he is moving correctly in a straight line, he will have
more suspension and flexibility to his gait
· When he turns, he will be able to bend easily through his rib
cage
· When using the snaffle bit, the direct rein pull coming from
the corners of the equine’s mouth affords him a wider range
of motion with his head and neck
· He is able to stretch his head and neck forward and around in
a properly executed horizontal arc through the turn
· This opens the spaces between his vertebrae, allowing him to
bend his head and neck into the arc of the turn, painlessly
and with greater ease
· The equine that is properly and conscientiously taught how
to communicate through the snaffle bit will be a safer and
more reliable animal to ride and to take into public places
· He has learned to stop and wait for cues (communication
through the bit) and is less likely to bolt and run if frightened
because he understands and trusts the communication
coming from his rider

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
