        Location: on my horse | I posted before about my gelding, he's pretty green but is ready for some leverage. He hurt his mouth about a month ago so I've been riding him in a hackamore and that's working pretty well for us.
Eventually I need to get him back in a bit because I plan on showing him (reined cow) and you're not allowed to show in a mechanical hack. This ISN'T a pressing issue yet, I'm just thinking ahead.
His mouth is pretty wide, it seems like his lips are thicker than my other horses as well and he has what I can only describe as tall bars, normal bits don't sit well in his mouth and I've had to go wider but it still isn't right. I tried a three piece snaffle (french link) and even that didn't lay right in his mouth. |
