Bit for showing ....

[ColleenIsh]

I have been using the little straight bar for walking missy inhand but she really seems so uncomfortable with it, not even when im leading her but when i first put the bridle on her she opens her mouth wide and holds her head to the side , So when I put a little small plain snaffle in she seemed quite happy

I have been walking her in it and she seems happy... the only query I have is that ...Is it ok to show inhand with the snaffle ? ....Haved warned hubbie to go easy with her mouth and if she behaves herself ok then to just clip it onto her noseband .

Yep. All youngsters shown in hand at my yard are in snaffles.

what classes & how old is she?

 

[ColleenIsh]

Shes entered into the yearling class for non tb's at balmoral (sports horse)

 

[fizz-tally]

hmm, not done a sports horse class but the yearling classes i have done i have not had a bit in

 

[ColleenIsh]

Its compulsory at balmoral unforunately .... As long as they are bitted , I dont think it matters , but just wanted to be sure it was ok .

She actually started to froth alittle that was after I put a taste of honey on the bit , but she may get used to a non tasteless bit though ... need to watch them baby teethies

what about a happy mouth or will she play with it?

we did the highland one year with sirocco & only 1 was bitted in the yearling class,he had a happy mouth snaffle on & was happy with it

 

[ColleenIsh]

was thinking them too .. they do them in apple flavour dont they ??

 

[AmyMay]

Colleen you should put a normal little snaffle in if you want to be correct - not a happy mouth.

Ok mummy ... was going to anyways , just wanted to know if the happy mouth is done in apple flavour , was thinking it may do for hubbie
