I'm glad your mare loves it so much. :DAchieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044831604914286008.post-8896837226358889732012-11-28T15:39:35.371-06:002012-11-28T15:39:35.371-06:00Wow ....

She was uncomfortable in any sort of bit, so I customised it like you did, and she was immediately so much more happier !!!! No need to use a bit again on her, and I saved money too. Discovered since that she has unerupted wolf teeth so maybe account for dislike of a bit. Will be doing the same with my 'newer' mare - whom we got 18 months ago..... :) Standieownerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02832893985348711036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044831604914286008.post-55992207416039978212012-11-28T14:29:34.106-06:002012-11-28T14:29:34.106-06:00Wow ,,,,, brilliant. I have already done this.......Wow ,,,,, brilliant. I have already done this.... 3 years ago when wanted to stop using a bit on my mare. Only had her a month or so and she was so uncomfortable with any type of bit, I converted the bridle she had into bitless and was immediately happier and better to have no bit. Saved a lot of money too !!! Turned out that she has unerupted wolf teeth so could explain the dislike in the beginning - was only 4 when I got her. No need to use a bit on her ever again, and will be doing the same with my 'newer' mare - had 18 months.

I just stand next to him and bounce on the balls of my feet thinking, "I wanna ride, I wanna ride, I wanna ride" lol. I just don't want to hurt him so I will wait for him to grow. :) I think he's definitely going to be ready mentally when it's time. It's so easy to do too much too soon with horses like him because he's so accepting and smart. It's a good practice in patience for me. :)Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044831604914286008.post-34697946316765092952012-01-08T15:11:57.244-06:002012-01-08T15:11:57.244-06:00How on earth can you stand to not ride him?!! He l...How on earth can you stand to not ride him?!! He looks like you could just get on and go hack about no problem. (especially if there are treats involved...)<br /><br />I cracked up picturing him picking his feet up while you were out in the pasture not paying attention. Too funny. He really looks great. His eyes look very kind to me, not sleepy, happy.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04068684611506771719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044831604914286008.post-69367342912298963732012-01-07T18:21:41.852-06:002012-01-07T18:21:41.852-06:00He is so chill about it.
