Like she acts really testy sometimes. I'm literally the worst at describing things and I don't know how else to put it. Like she always has a little bit of an attitude, some days the attitude is bigger than others. If that makes a little more sense???

Here was my progression...

Started in a snaffle at almost 3. She listened really well, but she always played with it. She would pull it out of my hands, she'd shimmy her head and make faces, she'd carry her head funny, just went very inconsistently. Had her vet checked, her teeth were fine, no pain anywhere. The mare was not lame or off one ounce. Has always been mouthy/played with everything, chewed on everything. So, eventually I tried a lifesaver (to give her something to play with)....HATED it. Loved to play with it, but it was way too much. Went back to the snaffle. As she got a hair older, I tried a S hack to get her to focus on her runs and less on playing with her bit. She ran like a champ in it, and LOVED it but eventually got stiff in her turns. So I tried an O ring combo, with the 3 piece twisted mouth and shes been in that for many years now. The end. :)
