We have a gorgeous Sec A mare, we've had her about 18 months and my daughters ride her on the lead rein. However when moving off in to trot she has started an annoying habit of occasionally nipping the leader and shaking her head afterwards - she actually hurt my husband yesterday. I had her teeth rasped on wednesday, the dentist said they actually looked fine but she had a routine rasp. She is normally in a thin magic bit, I tried her in a wilkie style lozenge yesterday but it made no difference.
But...she also does it when being led in a headcollar, so it can't be just the bit, or the saddle, unless it has become a habit. How do I stop it?
