[QUOTE="certherfbeef, post: 120958, member: 190"] Sometimes they will fiddle with the bit till they get their tounge over it. Then they just continue to fiddle till they get it back under the bit. General rule of thumb, when bit is in the mouth it should leave 2 wrinkles on either side of the mouth. Then it is not to loose or not too tight. Any chance they were using a hackamore on him? I always have snaps with a swivel on the end of each rein. Sometimes with the split reins if you twist your hand it will twist the rein at the bit, therefore twisting the bit in the horses mouth and making it uncomfortable for him. [/QUOTE]
