Dave Elliott talks with the Montana State University-Northern rodeo team Friday evening during a horse anatomy and bit clinic.
Dave Elliott visited the Hensler Auditorium at Montana State University-Northern Thursday to share his extensive knowledge of horses and their gear.
The clinic had a strong emphasis on bits, the portion of the horse’s tack that goes in the horse’s mouth, and the importance of correct usage. He also spoke at length about equine anatomy — specifically its mouth, skull, neck, nervous system and connective tissues — and how to make sure the horse is taken care of.
Well-known in the horse training industry, Elliott is a master bit and spur maker from Alberta and often presents clinics for bitting and equine anatomy clinics similar to Thursday’s.
