[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 31729"] To the person who recommended jerking on their horse--you are the JERK. Jerking on a horse NEVER IMPROVES ANYTHING and causes a horse to be afraid of their face. The person with this original question needs to go back to basics then learn to use a support rein to get this horse to rein. Going from a ring snaffle to a curb bit, ESPECIALLY a longer shank curb bit is confusing to a horse. A ring snaffle bit (used correctly) is a direct rein; a curb bit is used for neck reining, creates a squeeze between bit and chin strap. 'Down pressure' is created, and the horse most likely has not made that transition and is confused at the different 'feel'. Use a very short shank bit, and either a broken mouthpiece or loose shanks. Learn about your support rein and you should be able to get this horse to rein nicely. To the JERK-ER, put a bit in your mouth and let someone jerk on it. [/QUOTE]
