Hi,
So I have an 18 year old Connemara mare, shes a sweetheart! Ive had her 6 years and she has never been headshy or difficult to put a bridle on! She moreless puts her head straight into it for you so you just pop the bit in!
However, I got her teeth done 3 weeks ago by a qualified equine dentist and since then I have not been able to go near her with the bridle without her rearing repeatedly! This is completely out of character! I have taken the bridle apart and got it in with no issue but its the bit that is the problem! When I go to pop it in the rearing starts again. I have also tried putting honey on the bit to no avail. The bit is same weve always used and is just a loose ring snaffle.
From her dental chart it does say she had sensitivity on 106 and 206 and this may be due to overgrowth and displacement and rebalacing may help it.
Ps. She was sedated for the proceedure.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
