It took three rides before he worked well in the bit (the first two he absolutely hated it). So it sat in my trailer for months and then I tried it again recently and he worked AMAZING in it. No gaping and beautiful collection (and sooooo light). I've tried using it on another horse and she HATES it. I've tried it twice on her but I'll try it a few more times before I give up. Kinda the same here my gaper loved it not so much on others I tried that were not gapers lol.......go figure!!!

I think he was the victim of a "30 day" barrel horse program.....I have finally gotten him where i can do some drills on him without much protest. He does change at a run and he shoots himself in the foot wanting to be so chargy. A work in progress and I think will be worth the time....anyone have this bit to rent to try??

I think it would be worth a try; there is a lot of control in the bit but at the same time it makes them very soft in the face and very, very light.
