Hi, I have a girl riding my deliqent TB for me at the moment. She's a very good rider but hoss is exactly the same for her as she is for me. I was hoping for miracles truth be told...Maybe a little worse at some things, better at others. She has intemtently been a headshaker and is always a chomper. Have had dentit, Mctimoney, saddle refitted so I now its not pain - more a battle of wills.

I am considerably more soft, and sort of run with what I have to work with. My rider is more of the you will do as you are told school.

She has put a flash on her, which I never did, and is now turning to a grackle? We have had a myler bit recommeded - never used or seen one so I can't comment but did say I wanted to keep her in her snaffle or go down the bitless route if its causing her ndue stress.

I was wondering if anyone had any experience of going bitless and it working in this scenario? I've read a bit about it in the past and think this might be an idea. I don't have issue with her chomping but my rider does. It's a wierd twisty jaw thing she does -part of an old hang up she has I think...

Any advice more than welcome. :)
