When I put my horses bridle on he makes really exaggerated movements with his head shaking it up and down and stretches his mouth wide open a lot.
I also feel like he's not really keen to accept the bit and sometimes feel he isn't listening.
So I'm not sure if this is because he's really unhappy or just getting used to it when it's put on as he's only used very lightly for hacking out.
He doesn't seem to like bits that use poll pressure as I've tried a Kimblewick - just because I had one handy in the right size.
He's currently in a magic bit (?!) - i.e. a straight bar with a port, as he's a 16 hand shire cross so fleshy tongue and takes a 6 inch bit.
Anyone have any suggestions?
