Extreme Veteran Posts: 547 Location: Greencastle PA	I have a 12 year old gelding not wanting to rate the first barrel and get lunging in the alley way. My question is, my friend suggested this bit to help me with rate and possible his attuide in the alley way. He is not hurting has a awesome 2nd and 3rd, just horrible 1st, and im a small person. Any thoughts on this bit? Edited by barrelracerpa04 2015-07-20 12:54 PM

I like and appreciate a super light horse, you do need to have light hands with it. I still can get bend with my mare but I need to keep my hands forward like Ed teaches to get that. You can probably google youtube for Ed Wright and find some demos.
