[QUOTE="Alan, post: 121069, member: 378"] Sounds like you have a either a different type of bit in or his mouth isn't use to a bit (kinda like going bare foot for the first time in early spring) His mouth needs to toughen up a little. Watch for blister on the corner of his mouth as you get him use to a bit. We use a small diameter snaffle bit with a D or O ring, we also use the clips on the end of the reins. He might also need to get use to your hand pressure, be light on his mouth and try to keep pressure off his mouth without losing contact. I would also try to find out what they rode in during to two rides on the 4th of July(s), may have been a hackamore. Good luck, Alan [/QUOTE]
