  Location: Rome GA | My horse rides soft, is well broke. She is very ratey. Lately I've been knocking barrels. She is cutting off her turn. Slightly dropping her shoulder, I lift, she rates more, we knock. I saw where Molly Powell used the Rate and Turn on Slider with great success. I thought I might give it a try. Just looking at it makes me think of the Pretzel bit. I was hoping some of you could give me some insight before I hit the checkout button. ?? eta: I have done drills, lots of inside leg, etc. I never have thought that much about a bit to fix it, just thinking it won't hurt to try something different.

          Location: 31 lengths farms | I have both bits, I like the Moly Powell bit with the chain sides a little better on my gelding than the Pretzel. He is pretty light mouthed but has a tendency to want to get a little front endy in his turns if I don't ride him correctly. The chain seems to slow down the "snappy" my hands tend to get and gives him that chance to respond before the port really contacts. |
