Looking for some advice. My horse constantly chews her bit and pulls on it and rags her head around, Ive tried everything and Im kind of stuck where to go next. Shes had her teeth, back, saddle all checked and shes not in anyway uncomfortable, Ive tried many different bits with lozenges...
She's also got a big typical Warmblood tongue so sounds like something similar... I think I'm definitely going to give something like this a go and see if she feels better in it! thank youuu :)
Thanks for that, I think I might have to give a myler a try, I don't think she likes the joints personally so something with no joint is definitely worth a try!
she doesn't buck/rear etc. she's not naughty. she is very forward and when asked to use that energy to work into a nice contact she just simply isn't accepting the bit. maybe I was misunderstood when I said she has a high head carriage, it isn't overly high its just when she comes into the...
I kind of get the feeling I need something that gives her more room in her mouth and was going to look at trying a myler, could you suggest one? I can assure you this horse isn't in pain, shes happy with her saddle, shes had her teeth done, back checked, the works. theres just something that...

I don't know how to explain it really but she's more forward in the school than out hacking, its like when she's in a closed space she knows she's safe and becomes more forward, skittish etc. if that makes sense? out hacking you can hack her on buckle end and she's relaxed, stretched out etc...
she's had her teeth done (and has them checked regularly) and her back scanned and checked with no problems at all, so I know for sure she definitely isn't in pain, ive had massages and things on her also. she comes from a damaged background and it has taken me 3 years to build the trust that I...
I've not tried her in a hanging cheek yet so might have to give that one a go.. she's had a single joint before and that just brings her head higher. I was thinking of trying something with a bit more poll pressure...
