HELP!!! Bitting problems

[nicola172]

Hi Im having problems with a 4yr old, she has always been fussy with her mouth with accepting the bit but is absolutly fine once it is in her mouth. We have tried molasses, treacle, polos etc but no luck. The one thing that did work was to un-do the cheek peice, put the bridle on then slide the bit in that way. This worked for a while but now she has become wise to that one! Teeth have been checked and we only use a happy mouth bit. Any ideas???

just keep persevering i guess, are you sure there absolutely no sharp bits on the happy mouth plastic covering? Is it a loose ring version? is there a cm gap either side when its in? theres no pinching or soreness around the lips where it rests?

Could the problem be with her poll? Mine had atlas out of place and would have issues when you put her bridle on. chiro put it back in and she is much happier?
