[QUOTE="fellersbarnoneranch, post: 122105, member: 120"] Hillary, does he act upset or irritated or just preoccupied witht the bit? Sight unseen knowing very little....I would personally use a tom thumb snaffle with a lil shank on it (be gentle with rein pressure) If he can't get comfortable (most of my horses do fine with one wrinkle on each side, but some are more comfortable with 2) If he continues to mouth and spit the bit...you might try a cavesson. Help me people--am I naming the right thing here? To keep his mouth closed around the bit. It is a fact that some horses, like some people...just can't keep their mouth shut :roll: If he's not particularly upset otherwise...it might be a good training aid. I wouldn't think...so long as you are diplomatic with your reins that they should make much difference. How do you like the way he rides otherwise? [/QUOTE]
