Oh shut up u blithering idiots....!!!!

Something sensible!

The compositions of Salox have not changed since 2007 so the levels and materials are still the same!! So what would she react to exactly if everything is the same? The Salox is not the problem hence why I have no issue with other NS bits!! Thank you

She is and going beautifully but with experience of many horses comes a large bit collection too and a rubber snaffle has done the trick. Biting is a minefield as we all know and it's hard to find the right key, but now I've found it. I'm not being rude it is frustration of people not...

I have numerous other NS bits and she does not have the same problem, my money IS where my mouth is, try reading the thread!

My hands are good thanks and the scores were noticed post injury.

She is now in a rubber snaffle and going beautifully!

She has been in x2 previous Salox mouthpieces, thanks!!

I think the vet knows best ;-)

The compositions of Salox (NS mouthpieces) have not changed since 2007 so that rules a reaction out. The vet confirmed this under inspection of the horses mouth. The wound IS where the bit lies so has been caused by the bit but 100% is not a reaction to the Salox mouthpiece as she has been...

The horse hadn't been in the field and the stable is fool proof. The wound is where her bit sits.

I have no idea is the honest answer! The vet also was not sure but co firmed it was not a reaction to the metal. For me the underside of the mouthpiece had about 5 light scores on it (where the teeth would not touch) but the bit was brand new. I thi k the light scores on the metal have...

Hi blitz bobs, as I said my horse has used NS bits before and the compositions of Salox have not changed since 2007 so it's not a reaction....unfortunately something more sinister perhaps! I eagerly await their test results.... Thankfully the mouth is one of the quickest healing parts of...
