Quick question Once tacked up, my boy rubs his head. A lot. On anything.
I've had horses in the past who've done it when untacked, sweaty, etc, but with him it's virtually as soon as the bridle is on? He's fine being ridden, but as soon as he's stood still he's trying to rub on something. Stable door, mounting block, fences, gates (that I'm trying to open / close!) out hacking. He does it regardless of bitted / bitless / cavesson noseband / grackle noseband / no noseband. I'm starting to wonder if he's a bit of a sensitive one? He doesn't do it in headcollars, only bridles.
I'm starting to wonder if it's worth looking into a Micklem bridle or maybe other options? Anyone have any experiences?
Thanks
