Biting the bit?

[SummerStorm]

My vet pointed out to me that Silver has been biting his bit - is there any way I can stop him doing this? He's ridden in a loose ring snaffle and a crank noseband if that's relevant....

Thanks very much!

You could try a bit with rollers on and check that the bit is at the correct height. My games pony used to do this so he had a D ring copper roller snaffle and went really well in it.

Wack the bit up a hole. Possibly try a fixed cheek bit, like an eggbut?

Yeah pop it up a hole, there should be 2 creases of skin (if you get what i mean)
