[QUOTE="codymccue, post: 557931, member: 8416"] I say yes to "Would the bit change cause this kind of behavior?" I would move to a more"severe"snaffle if he isn't responding to the full cheek.When I take a horse from a rubber snaffle to a D-ring the amount of contact needed goes way down. I'm no expert on what might work for others,but maybe try something like a twisted wire snaffle.it's still a snaffle bit like he's used to,but has more "bite" to it. you'll wanna keep that in mind first time you use it... on another note,do you ride with a fair bit of "contact" with his mouth?or none?has he always been this way or has it been a progression?lots of times folks build a hard mouthed horse over time without knowing it...an don't get me wrong,I'm not pointing any fingers...just askin questions,trying to get a better understanding. ;-) [/QUOTE]
