This message is from: "Janne Myrdal" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Greetings from ND.
We are in the process of re-training or re-schooling Heidi, a 12 year old fjord mare who has been a broodmare for several years. She is doing quite well under saddle, but we have not found a bit that seems to do well for her. I generally use a snaffle on most of my horses, occasionally something else, but prefer a simple snaffle. However, with Heidi it seems not to work out well, as she tends to take the bit to much, as well as being quite strong on the bit. There is obviously more to a behaviour than a bit, but any input on this would be appreciated. Any ideas for a bit that would help out. I hate to go and buy any of the numerous options out there w/o hearing some input and experience. Could get costly, :) I guess I have been pretty much spoiled with most of the horses, as they respond well to my current bits. Next week we will hook her up with another mare, and start on driving lessons again. Poor Heidi, she thought life with babies was just good, thank you so much!! Janne in mild ND
