Has anyone tried one?
I have a welsh section d mare who has had a shakey upbringing, she was riden through wolf teeth in her first home so does not like the bit to start with, then in her second home she got these removed and began reschooling but the summer came and the girl who had her just went hacking and galloping in fields with her friends, so on top of having over developed muscles in her under neck she likes to go fast. I can ride her fine in the school and out hacking, but do have to fight her to get her on the bit, she rides with a very high head carrage (from when she evaded the bit due to her wolf teeth)
I got her in a single jointed dutch gag, riden only on the second ( which i have read the nutcracker and dutch both have head raising actions)
I'm currently trying her in french links and revolvers to avoid the nutcracker as i think she has a rather sensitive mouth, The hanging cheek snaffle is good but if she gets her head she just runs through it, especially if it's windy.
I've read about the peewee bit, has anyone tried it and do you think it would be suitable?
If not can you advise me what might work?
