Works for some horses though, can't generalise that they will all find it nasty. How about chunky rubber mullen mouth pelham with converters and a curb guard?

I did not know this was a thing. Amazing!! Need to invest in one asap as my numnahs are about to get up and walk on their own

Ugh. Such an annoying habit. Have you had teeth checked? My lad does it a bit as he's just a very mouthy sort of chap in general, but it really kicks up a notch when it comes around to teeth doing time. He's ridden in a Sprenger Ultra Snaffle (the gold one with the lozenge/roller combo) and I...
