Hi all,
I have a 9 year old Andy gelding - who slobbers for England with his bit in. I know it is generally seen as a good thing but he really does drool like a blood hound! I have started putting flannels in my jacket so I can wipe his mouth & chin intermittently .
He will try and shake it off his chin or looks for a post to wipe it of - bless him.
He has a Myler comfort snaffle with copper inlay , but I have also tried a standard loose ring french link & single jointed happy mouth snaffle - and all have the same effect. The Myler is quite a thin bit also. I can feed him a polo or carrot piece & he seems to be able to eat OK .
Is this just him or is there anything I can do to help reduce it? Anyone else with a horse that's had the same & have you managed to reduce the drool to just to 'lipstick'?
He has his teeth done twice a year & as soon as you take his bridle off he stops.
Thanks
