[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 3213"] One of the reasons horses start avoiding the bridle is because it hurts when it is taken off. You may have to have a trainer get him to take the bit again, but when you start bridling him again be careful taking the bridle off. Many people take the bridle off the ears and allow the horse to put his head up as soon as it is off the ears. This drops the bit suddenly against the teeth. When you take the bridle off the ears, hold it up in it's normal position until the horse is calm. Then lower the bit slowly in his mouth and let him spit it out. If he throws his head up when you unbridle, you may have to hold the bit up with a hand under the jaw, just as you do putting it on, Lower the bit slowly, never letting it hit his teeth. Good luck.
