Hi Virginia >>>When being bridled Gat will move her head and open willingly for the bit, so she's accepting it at that point. Occasionally when being ridden she will open her mouth. Can a horse accept and not accept the bit at the same time?
I think so. When a horse opens his/her mouth it can be relative to what the rider is doing, how the horse is feeling on a particular day and what is being asked. Since horses aren't robots and neither are their riders I can't imagine a horse being exactly the same every day. We're not... : )) r Icelandic Horse Farm Robyn Hood & Phil Pretty Vernon BC Canada www.icefarm.com
