I’ve been working with my OTTB for about 2 months now and I’m currently using the bit shown above (dog-bone lozenge).
He can get really head high and sometimes grinds his teeth (still trying to figure out if it’s stress or bit related).
He has a pretty difficult time understanding bending to the left as well and I’m wondering if trying out a different bit might help the issue (a lot of it has to do with his weak hind end so I’m not expecting a different bit to solve it completely, but I want as little confusion during the process as possible.)
I really want to try the CalmBlue Roller Eggbutt Snaffle, but it’s a bit pricey for him to possibly hate it more.
I’m eager to hear others’ experiences and recommendations! Including suggestions on helping the bending issue.
NOTE: this OTTB has is very small/narrow mouthed and shallow palleted.
