So... My mare is young and broke- broke. I had some issues with the first barrel and took someone's advice and changed bits and now i don't know what bit to use.
Started with o-ring (and hack but was told she didn't like over the nose ;) as a baby and moved to short (5" cheek) jr cow horse. I had a first barrel problem and it turned out to be a soundness and confused thing so I fixed the minor soundness issue and someone let me borrow what I consider a bit with quite a bit of bite to it and so I used it for a while to clear up a few things with my mare so there was no maybe in my mares mind. Since the issue I have not entered and ran. I have 3/4 speed at home in the o-ring. In an o-ring she listens to me and my body more than my hands. I will not run her in it. I have ran her once all out gettin it in the jr cowhorse about a week ago practicing at a local pen. Question is would you go ahea and run her in it tonight?
Probably dumb question lol but I'm just curious what others would do. She is take the bridle off and walk, trot, whoa, back, spin, turn...all accept lope (for now) broke.
What bit to use tonight lol
