Fussy mouth mare - re last night...

[Lill]

Well got Ada in last night to lunge her.

First of all she had a bit of a breakdown as she walked backwards into and then sat on a wheelbarrow - daft horse

Decided to try her in the neue schule loose ring snaffle... as this was the thinnest bit we seem to have.

Put roller and side reins on her and i have to say she is improving by the day.

First time we lunged her she seemed very reluctant on the left rein and was about 6 inches off tracking up in trot, now she is happy to go forwards on both reins and tracking up nicely, last night she even had a slightly frothy mouth so we're hoping the NS bit will suit her best.

Oh that sounds promising doesn't it - especially as she was getting a nice mouth.

Keep us posted.

Excellent. She sounds happier which in turn must make you feel good - I always feel good anyway when I think I'm getting something right for my horse!

Yes am pleased with her progress actually, in just a couple of weeks you can already see the improvement in her way of going.

Think i shall keep her in the NS snaffle, she has such a diddy mouth though!

Look for update and photos after the weekend, plan to ride her on Sunday, most likely only walk and trot as i think she needs to gain a lot more muscle before being asked to be balanced in canter.
