marylandsaddlery.com Once I am sure that there are no problems with a horse’s mouth I am ready to watch them train. I begin analyzing what bit they need taking into consideration the specific structure of the horses mouth in order to achieve that horses specific training goals. Lower palates may mean we choose a mullen type bit with or without a low port. Thick lips may mean a thinner bit. As we consult about your specific training goals we can together choose the correct bit. Mouth pain is extremely distracting to a horse and they surely will not train as well as a horse that is comfortable in their bridle.
