Have been riding my horse in a happy mouth pelham for over a year, as i had no brakes when he took off. even in a pelham he could be hard to stop, but it worked eventually.
Anyway going so well now whith schooling etc, have been looking for a less strong bit. A happy mouth is better and a hanging cheek was suggested. Anyway, sods law took him out today in pelham before going to saddlery to buy hanging cheek and he took off after being spooked. Again very hard to pull up in the pelham.
Have brought the happy mouth hanging cheek, but after todays episode am nervous about using it in case i have no brakes in that situation.
therefore, what do you think?
hanging cheek - Yes/No
Remain in pelham?
or can anyone suggest another solution?
All ideas greatfully received as I would like to think that 1 day i could get wiz in something more gentle.
