[QUOTE="TR, post: 39159, member: 22"] I once worked a mare that did the same thing. I figured fooey on earing this horse and backing her into a corner to get a bit in her mouth, so I tried honey. The kind that squeezes out of the bear. Put some in my hand, shoved it in her mouth through the side, let her think on that a few minutes, then wiped the excess off on the bit, and slipped it in. Did the same thing a 2nd time, and by the third time, she was actively reaching to take the bit in her mouth. MUCH nicer than having to force it. Did the same thing a few times with my paint colt when I was breaking him. He now pickes up the bit out of my hand like he's taking a treat from it and I havent' put honey on it in 3 1/2 years. Whatever works and makes them willing to do your bidding instead of forcing it. [/QUOTE]
