My boy has a really bad parrot mouth, which does not effect him in anyway IE: eating
When ever we are out competing/hunting he can pull and he bites his tongue and we end up with loads of blood around his mouth.
I have him in a Grackle nose band as he does like to open his mouth. My question is do you think he's biting his tongue because of the parrot mouth or could it be the noseband and thinking about the way his mouth is would a flash be better for him as would not sit so high up his jaw (if you know what I mean)
I have owned him for about 6 months now and never had a horse or known a horse with a parrot mouth so not very clued up on those sort of things.
