Looking for advice - I have a 3yr old that I'm starting to back. She was shown as a 2 & 3yr old and accepted her bridle with no problem. Before starting lunging her I had the dentist come and remove her wolf teeth (August) She fought the sedative and the vet was worried about the amount he had to give her. Tried putting a bridle on again 2 weeks after and she hates it. Nothing awful but snorts when I enter the box with it and tries to evade having it put on. I am only using a happy mouth as worried about a metal bit hitting her teeth. I am putting it on daily, using treats as a reward, she is reluctant but slowly getting better. I have not used any pressure on the bit - such as side reins - and won't until she accepts it.
I was told by the dentist that she wouldn't remember the experience but she definitely does. I am in no hurry but if anyone has been through something similar I'd appreciate their advice
