Wears headscarf aggressively
IME this is certainly true. I helped someone with very unsteady hands for a while, her instructor had sort of taught her to fiddle the horse into a shape and while she unlearned that the horse needed something really stable - a hanging cheek myler took a lot of the moment away, horse previously had a happy mouth loose ring with a peanut roller thing, far too much movement all round for them at that point in time. the stiller bit helped the pair of them to move on together.Sort of related, but I do wonder though if it is about the rider sometimes. Perhaps some bits "mute" some riding habits more, such as instability and whatnot. So the horse likes that bit because it accommodates that rider, maybe. Not sure, something to think about, I guess.
