I ride my horse in a Sharon Camarillo chain bit. He's pretty light in the mouth and we've used it quite a bit. Here's my situation … I need lift going into the barrel (he will sometimes drop and doesn't like to take a pocket - we work on that frequently) .. but on the back side of the barrel he tucks his head and becomes - for lack of a better word - noodley. Which costs us time and puts us out of position going into the next turn. I can ride him in a ring snaffle or just about anything - but when it comes time for business, I have to have something with some lift or I'm just along for the ride. Thinking of trying one of the BP lifter bits but was looking at getting some response from the BHW trainers.

Thanks!

Location: Lost in the swamps		You just describe my horse to a T! I also run in a chain mouth. A Rosie gag. It's the only thing he's not fussy in. He's really sensitive and noodley. I have the 3 PC smooth. I like it but I feel it's too much bit to run my horse in. But I love it for at home in slow work. Remember too the longer the shanks not only offers lift but offers more rate and control too

I thought about and tried a hack that swivels - not a Jim Warner though … but that causes him to stiffen up and drop his shoulders going into the turns. I've also tried gag bits and he is more responsive to no gag.

I need to mention that I work on squares, keeping him soft in the rib cage, keeping me soft in the rib cage, counter arcs quite regularly - off the pattern. He does better using cones, bushes, one barrel, etc and doesn't see the pattern all that often. He's really soft off the pattern … but during … we encounter the challenges I mentioned.

Outta curiosity - what does the square mouth piece do?
