I used to own a 7 yr. old quarter horse who had to be ridden just so, or he would throw you off. I learned a lot from him, but got smart and moved on, before he killed me! Funny thing, I bought that bit new just after I had him and he threw me the first time I used it and I went back to using his other bit and never used it again until I got Spike, because I only have the two bits.
