My little cob is super fussy bit wise. I have tried a horse bit fit person but she didn’t like their suggestion after a few rides. I alternate between a myler snaffle and a bomber happy tongue. I have just bought the new bomber dressage swivel to see if she likes that. Couple of rides she seemed very happy, great. Today she was going nicely, warming up so loose contact, no fussing. Asked for Canter and we literally couldn’t.either couldn’t get a transition or if we did fell out of Canter, losing entire back end , after a few strides . Mild panic and thinking back, stifles, argh! Then thought, hmm let’s try her old bit. So hopped off and swopped bridles, completely back to normal.perfect transitions and balanced ( for her) Canter.
Would never have suspected that you could get that kind of a change with a bit. It didn’t for one minute feel like it was a “ front end “ issue, there was no obvious resistance there, felt 100% like a locomotor / pain issue .Was amazed.
