Liz, in my opinion Questy is still a baby. The bit is maybe not the problem
and I certainly agree that putting something in that he is afraid will hurt him
is not a good solution. I have found Mullen mouth bits work well. You could

What really sets my teeth ajar is watching some of the old western movies and
the use in glamorous hands of very severe bits. The riders made the horse
arch it's neck and rear backwards to avoid pain and they thought they looked
like real cowboys

Dover saddlery has a mullenmouth Tom Thumb (Pelham), #01124, and
Libertyville has one also, # 5-0319, for $26.50 The Libertyville bits go up
to 5 1/2" size, incase anybody needs one. This is what I used at first,

listers, as for biting, what has really worked with my fjord (when he
was a youngster) is the technique that john lyons recommends. if the

On the subject of thin bits for Fjords, I have found the best luck with my
bradoon snaffle bit. This is the thin snaffle that is normally used with a
double bridle and it is quite thin, but I use it as my regular bit. It seems
to fit this Fjord's mouth we

Started taking classical dressage lessons (yes, competitive is a world away)
and this horse started looking EAGER when I came to bridle her. Now I hold
up a bridle and she picks up the bit and almost bridles herself! She loves
it!

Pamela,
I have no bone to pick with classical dressage (but "show" dressage - don't
get me started!), a slow approach or snaffles in general.I do have a bone to
