@Lucky, that depends... how good are your horses at babysitting anxious riders? 😆 I have plenty of experience horseback riding, but my anxiety always sets me back when it comes to hot horses.

It's alright Dusty, it's important to be reminded that not all of us can life milk jugs. Sometimes it's hard.

@Dusty, that is nice! I want to get back into horseback riding when I graduate.

@Dusty, what's nice about this is it is small (just some bands basically) and you can get a full body workout without multiple machines.

So i have brought on a new 4yo Warmblood mare for a while now,but im having trouble with her bit issues.

She is currently on a French Link Snaffle and she is reacting really weirdly to it like she will roll it around,chew it and loads of other stuff and im a lilttle bit worried.

I have trained horses for 8yrs now and this has never happened to any of the horses i have trained or owned.

I was wondering if anyone could give me any tips on the bit choices

I love this snaffle for horses that show any problems with bits

https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/248/9086/10h/origin-d5.scene7.com/is/image/PetsUnited/TSLT900232_104813?wid=160&hei=160&fmt=jpeg&qlt=75,0&op_sharpen=0&resMode=sharp2&op_usm=0.9,1.0,6,0&iccEmbed=0&

It is a D-ring snaffle with a copper roll and I recommended it to a lot of people who had problems with their horses, snaffle wise ;)

Well, not sure if you would be open to it, but you could always train her bitless, depending on the training that you are doing. I know that I have a thoroughbred that used to do anything he could to resist bits, so I rode him bitless for about two years, but of coarse I was training him in western and english pleasure. I decided that I wanted to try jumping with him after the two years, and I wanted to use the bit again. So, I slowly re-introduced him to the bit, and I have a lot less problems with him having the bit now.

Just and idea. Some disciplines don't allow you to go bitless in the arena, but if you can do bitless, you could try it.

I'm assuming you've gotten her teeth floated recently? Sometimes that can be the problem, especially with younger horses who need floating every 6mos.

Have you tried a bosal or a rubber mouthed bit? :)
