A soft mouth on a horse refers to the horse being responsive and light to the rider's cues through the reins. It indicates that the horse is not leaning or pulling on the bit, but rather is yielding to gentle pressure. Achieving a soft mouth requires consistent training, proper bit selection, and skilled riding.
a bit is used to encourage the the horse to turn and to stop - when you pull right the bit pulls in the horse's mouth and it makes him turn right - when you pull back on the reins it puts pressure on the horses mouth and it will stop. Many horses are trained to turn from the feel of the reains or by use of your heels on their sides. So, the bit isn't for turning when the horse has been trained this way.
Every time your horse plays with the bit, give her a quick tug and say "quit." Something that also may be the problem might be the bit. if it is a bronze bit, I have heard that they are flavored. Or if she has eaten anything beforehand, such as grass, she could still be trying to eat it. Hope I helped you out!
It is called a pelham bit in English riding. In western riding, it would be called a tom thumb.Horseisle Answer- Pelham
A metal bit is a piece of equipment used in horse riding that goes in the horse's mouth. It typically consists of a metal bar with rings on either end. The rider uses reins attached to the rings to communicate with the horse by applying pressure to the bit, signaling the horse to turn, stop, or slow down.
A snaffle bit with a double joint or a bitless bridle could be a good option for your horse during cross country or fast work. These options can provide control while being gentle on the horse's mouth, allowing for more comfort and responsiveness. It's also important to work on developing a softer connection with your horse through training and groundwork exercises to address the leaning and snatching behaviors.
Training is better than any bit. If I were you, when he started leaning on the bit, I'd let go of the reins so that he has nothing to lean on. Then take the slack back up until he leaned on it again. He'd soon learn that the reins won't support him, and he'll get smart and stop leaning. try a softer better tasting bit, i use a copper french link snaffle mouth :)
You don't.
This is a good question, but could you be a bit more specific? What is the problem: does the horse not want to move at all? Does he not pay attention and go wherever he wants? Does he drag you? Does he not stop? If you can be a bit more specific, I will gladly answer your question.
A bit lifter is a piece of horse tack which lifts a bit in the horse's mouth.

"Whoa" is the classic command to stop a horse.
