We recently got an ottb, and he has been restarted prior to us getting him. He does still need some things worked on . One main thing is his head placement is high , going to start him out with a running Martiangale (unless another recommendation? ) he has been rode in a full cheek snaffle, or a rubber lozenge bit by pervious owner . But we are going to use him for barrel racing, and I don’t want to just put him in my martha josey million dollar bit or my brittany possiz life savor bit until he is further along . What bit do you all recommend ? This is our first OTTB, and I want to make sure we keep going in the right direction with him . He is very willing and has a great mind . We are very lucky to have found him.

We try to get everything into a jr Cowhorse. I have all of them (various mouth pieces). I like the three piece mouth best. Also, I think you will like a German martingale better than a running martingale.  You can use the German Martingale with the jr Cowhorse.

No contraption is going to work to get his head where it needs to be. It's your hands. I can't do it. I have to rely on other people to get that headset and collection going.
