I am having trouble finding a bit for my horse. I just bought a 5 year old Thoroughbreed Mare. At the canter she does this weird thing with her head, where she lifts it and turns it in. I had this very good trainer watch me and she said it was nothing with my seat, balance, or inter-ference. I know I have soft hands so I know i'm not hanging on her. Her teeth have been done recently and I've been working on leg yeilds with her for bending and balance. I just can't seem to find a bit. I've been riding her in a snaffle, I've tried some others but can't fine the one thats for her... I used to use a rubber bit on my first horse, also a mare who needed soft hands.. But before I went out and bought one I wanted to know if there was any others I should concider.

How many people out there are all for bringing slaughter back into our country? There are so many horses out there starving or being hauled in semi trailers to Canada and Mexico. Don't the anti-slaughter people see that what went into effect is even more of a cruelty to the horses than slaughter? I just want to know if there is anyone else out there that gets really angry at this reality.

I am desperate to say the least....so I am open for any suggestions!!! I have a beautiful, talented Andalusian mare. She is 7 years old. She lives outside, plenty of time to play and have fun. We have been doing pretty good with our training, she is a bit marish and opinionated, but for the most part, I could handle her. To make a long story short, when she doesn't want to work, she will kick out and try to rear, but once you convince her to go, there she kind of goes "ok, alright... I go". She had the winter off, and I started her back in the spring. I put her on Regumate because last year, before we had to go to a clinic or a lesson, I saw that by giving her regumate 10 days before the event, she was awesome!! So.... the first clinic of the year comes, so I started her on Regumate, she was doing great, we needed to work on a few things but she was responsive. We go to the clinic, and all hell breaks loose (The clinic happened at my trainer's barn. This is a barn where my…

IS THERE ANYWAY AT ALL TO REPORT SOME ONE ON HERE? ANYWAY AT ALL? PLEASE TELL ME THERE IS!
my horse moonlight minute is acting up now. i got her to stop kicking but now when i get on her she fights. im just doing small jumps trying to settle back down on her. im allowed to ride her now. anyway my bf hit her i guess when she kicked him or something so now she is fighting me. i know lunging is a good idea but how long should i lung her? like half an hour? longeR? shorter? what should i make her do? im thinking i should do join up wit her. that always works for me. what do you think? to me i think doing join up with her is my best bet in getting her to calm down and have fun with me and riding.

I've only had my gelding, Gideon, for about three weeks. Before he came into my posession, he was a "pasture pony" for six months. Previous to being a lawn ornament, he had been ridden English style and taught the basics of Dressage, but was never shown. I've ridden him about 10 times now. I work him almost every day in the round pen for at least 20 minutes before riding. Recently he has been rearing when I ask him to bend, slow down, come away from the rail, etc. Rearing doesn't scare me, I know how to handle myself, but I worry that one wrong step could put him off balance and he'll flip backwards. I ride strictly with a bridle and saddle, no martingale. He's reared in total a dozen times, spaced out on two different days. I checked his saddle to be sure the cinch wasn't too tight, and I stretched out his legs as well. I use a snaffle bit, the same that he's always been ridden with, and I checked to make sure it wasn't too tight. I even take extra care to check his hooves and…

I have had a bridle and bit on my yearling (almost 2) and she listens to it amazingly. I ride her maybe 5 times a month bareback with just a bridle or halter, just so she gets used to it, which she is now. When she is ready to start actually working under saddle, I am going to start with cruising (let her have full control of the reins and I dont steer at all and she has to keep the gait no matter what) then start with getting her shoulder up, vertically flexed, listen to my seat etc. I was wondering if using a hackmore would work doing that. She is super sensative and I really would like to use a hackamore on her and only use a bit when she needs it (she is a fjord and they can be head strong when they want to be), but what do you think? I have never seen anyone ride dressage (training level with her) with a hackamore. I suppose if she is totally seat trained, which she will be, it won't be too much of a problem, but the getting shoulder up and bending type things might be difficult…

ok, my parents make me wear a helmet any time i am on the back of a horse, about 4 months ago (b4 aspen got hurt) one of my parents friends was riding a very very green broke horse, and got thrown, and the horse was running free in an open area with all the tack on, so i hoped on my horse aspen (bareback and only with a hlater and lead rope) and galloped towards the horse, after about an hour of pretty much cutting and running around like a mad man a caught the horse (all the while without a helmet) well my parents are'nt budging, even tho i have proved i am a good rider (i am the only one in the family who even knows how to ride) who do you think is right?? i wear a helmet when i jump and tuff but i think if i am just palying around that i should be aloud to not wear one, your opinions?
