[QUOTE="Hillary_Indiana, post: 120951, member: 521"] Hey guys, We just got a new horse, a tennessee walker...5 years old. He is the sweetest thing. I rode him before we bought him, but I didn't pay attention to what kind of bit they used. When we got him home I tried using one of the solid bits on him and he was just chomping like mad. He let me ride him but he looked very uncomfortable. Even after I loosened/tightened it. Then, I tried using one of those two-piece bits...same problem...not so bad but still very uncomfortable. Now the girl I bought him from said that the last time he'd been ridden was 4th of july, then before that it was the 4th of july before that. I thought maybe he just needs to get adjusted back to having a bit in his mouth. I'm gonna call Tuesday and ask her what they used on him. One thing I do know is that they were using roper reins on him and we have been using split reins...would that make him uncomfortable like that? He doesn't chomp so much at it when he's standing still. But sometimes when we're riding him he will just open his mouth and start drooling. Anyway, any suggestions? Hillary [/QUOTE]
