lunge question

[tashyisaudrey]

is it ok to lunge in headcollar? I find the bridle pulls on her face, I'm not that keen. any advice grateful

I do occasionally but it isn't as good as using a cavesson.

er, how can a bridle pull on her face? if the bridle does it, then a headcollar is going to twist even more as there isnt the bit to keep it still.

where do you attach your lunge line to the bridle? through the bit ring and then clipped onto the other side? or through the bit ring, over the top and clipped onto the bit ring the otherside?

either way it shouldnt twist the bridle.

Which is better? I always thread through the bit and clip to the otherside mainly because my horse is funny about his ears but is it better to loop the line over the head?

I attach through the bit ring over the top and clipped on to the bit ring the other side. Its just I find with a hanging cheek bit that it kind of moves about a lot. Sorry can't really explain! Not sure.

How about using a cavesson .. ???

try going under chin to the other side -- the reason more likely it pulls when bridle on as you have a hanging cheek that doesnt fit her mouth-- could be you have it to low and withe ways is to large
so moves to much --
