Snap!! I had the exact same problem but then my saddler showed my why it was happening (with my horse anyway) it all made sense.
So my gelding was also ridden in a micklem and a low port comfort myler snaffle and he kept throwing his head around and generally not accepting the contact. I...
Hi,
I've just gone trough and read a whole load of forums slating Premier equine rugs, saying that they leak etc.
I'm massively shocked by this as all three of my horses have full wardrobes of PE rugs and i think they are definitely the best rugs on the market in my opinion. I've never had...
Hi all,
After lots of thinking I think I've decided that I would like to get a two ponies from an auction to bring on and join our team.

Oh gosh really. I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing the head throwing around. I also agree that I think the tongue pressure isn't nice at all so that's why I want to stop using it! I actually tried a Myler tonight and he just completely ignored me and locked against it so I don't think it...
Yes I agree, I'm going to keep trying the Magic bit as it may be the case of him just adjusting to not being able to lean!! Regarding the Micklem, he is actually in one and I have so much more breaks than I used to! He loves it! They are fab bridles 😊 X
So here it goes... Sorry for the lengthy post!
I have an ID gelding who is very forward and will lean on your hands, diving to the bottom of fences and just generally a bit obnoxious. He has never been taught to school correctly (he's 17 now!!) and since taking him on I've been working...
