Veteran Posts: 102	I have a mare who is super light in the mouth and really flexible. Previous owner was running her in a twisted wire snaffle. I tend to over ride her out of habit due to my other horse needing help in the turns. Someone suggested trying a hack so I would stay out of her mouth. What hack would you suggest for a very light mouthed horse? She doesn't really drop her shoulder or any of that. Just point and go.

Veteran Posts: 232 Location: Wisconsin	i love my Ronny Clampitt... made a whole world of difference in my mare. I would recommend the shorter shanked one for sure. Hard to find one used tho, would probably have to buy new.
