I use a Myler snaffle the one that is legal for
dressage. Both of my fjords really leaned on a
french-link snaffle but do well in the Myler. I had a
warmblood mare who would lean on you and we used a
Pessoa type snaffle on her. That is th

One of the best exercises that I have used in getting control over the
shoulders is to start on a 20 meter circle and gradually spiral down to a 10
meter circle, then leg yield out to 20 meters again. You may need to use that

Speaking of those powerful shoulders.. are there some exercises that you
guys can recommend? My 5 year old mare is getting entirely too much practice

I use a Myler *combination* comfort snaffle (level 1) bit on my mare, who
can also go in a Dr. Cook's bitless bridle when she is being ridden
consistently. (When she hasn't been ridden for a while, she usually needs
to have the "reminder" of t

Liz, In your exploration of snaffles did you ever use a Mullen mouth? (a
non-jointed snaffle, just a slightly curved bar.) It seems milder, but the

I have a question about finding the proper bit for my
wonderful fjord, Torsten. He has been ridden in the
past with an eggbutt snaffle, but appears to need
something a little stronger. We have tried various
snaffles, both fixed and loose ring, wit

Hi,
I too would be interested in how to break the habit of lurching forward when
Aron scoots out from under me. He has had tons of training, but
unfortunately it is his response when spooked. I was happy to hear I am not
