[QUOTE="HOSS, post: 317847, member: 1863"] Well I bought my new horse home and have started riding him. He rides well, gaits smooth and so far I am very happy with him. I have noticed that he fights the bit more then I was expecting. Even when he is standing with no rein pressure being exerted on the bit. He tosses and shakes his head like he is trying to spit it out or adjust it. I wonder if the bit that came with the horse is ill fitted or the wrong style for his mouth. I am using a Copper Mouth Improved Tom Thumb Bit. The chain that goes under the chin / lower jaw is not tight which was my initial thought. Could it be that this bit is too narrow or too far forward or back? Could anyone give some advice to this horse novice. If this is the wrong style of bit for my type of riding please suggest alternatives. My horse is an 8 year old spotted saddle horse (gelding). He is 15 hands but muscular built. Most of my riding is done on level ground and on dirt / grass. [/QUOTE]
