[QUOTE="Alan, post: 289206, member: 378"] Hey Flaboy, I haven't been on the horse pages much lately, trying to be a better cow man I guess. In my opinion Mr Gale has it right on. I assume your talking about your young colt. He is problably fighting the bit because he is not use to it. when he quits fighting the bit and throwing his head around release all pressure. Never use too much pressure,when he softens give him his head, it is all real new to his mouth. I will start a horse on the bit by using just a head set with a snaffle bit and no reins and work him as I usally do, in the round pen. No pressure, just a bit in the mouth. I hope I'm on the same page. Alan [/QUOTE]
