    Winning Tongue Plate Bit

    Thank you! I have a horse who lolls his tongue and it is purely habit. I wondered if I could somehow break the habit. I'll have a go.

    Anyone used horse first relax me.

    Works brilliantly with my German WB. It takes the edge of his twit tendencies but doesn't take away his character. We tried the Relax Me shot last weekend for a dressage competition. Worked brilliantly as I didn't have to up the powder and I got a horse that was thinking in a gale force wind...

    Has anyone used an equine nutrition expert?

    I've received my report from Clare. On the whole we are doing ok but the report included some really useful tips that I wouldn't have thought of nor knew about!

    Has anyone used an equine nutrition expert?

    Thank you both. I looked at her website and wasn't sure whether to try the LNG distance service. We're in Yorkshire so a visit is a bit unrealistic!!! I will use the long distance service. :cool:

    Has anyone used an equine nutrition expert?

    I'm thinking about using an equine nutrition expert, someone independent from the feed manufacturers. Has anyone used such services and what was your experience? Thank you!

    Dressage Rules

    We do put plenty of sliced apple in his mouth just before he goes in to do the test - this keeps him occupied and stops the tongue lolling! With no tongue our scores are low twenties (23 to 25!!! mega scores) and with tongue we are at 30 - so still not too bad but a noticeable difference I have...

    Dressage Rules

    Thanks Oldvic! That fits with the last dressage test we did where the judge said ' super stamp, pity about the tongue as it detracted from the overall picture throughout'. It is a shame though because he gives a fab feel down the rein, is totally engaged and is really loose through his...

    Dressage Rules

    I have a horse that sticks his tongue out all the time! I have just been through the British Dressage Rule Book as my friend and I thought it was mentioned in there under resistance. The rules cover teeth grinding and tail swishing but not a word on tongue lolling/sticking out! Is there...
