Find It on the No Worries Club Website: Horse Won’t Accept Bit

NWCfind

A No Worries Club member asks Clinton: Apache has trouble with accepting the bit. We were working through this problem well until a couple of weekends ago when he was taken to a horse show without my knowledge. A young girl was allowed to ride him, and she was made to get off of him because she was in his mouth and he was rearing on her. He has never reared on me. Now, when we try to go to the right, Apache starts to sidestep and throw his head. When I get him stopped, he jerks his head. What is your advice? Also, now to get the bit in his mouth is like prying open a turtle. I use a smooth snaffle. – czsuzy
