Veteran Posts: 126	Has anyone experienced this? I have a horse that I have used them on a handful of times in arenas where I know what he should clock and he doesn't fire as hard or clock as well. Does it maybe scare him that he can breathe better???

Extreme Veteran Posts: 494	I tried them on one of my mares that I knew could possibly have an issue with it. I couldn't even get her to warm up decent. She was too focused on trying to get that thing off
