Standing on the left side of the horse, put your left hand on the bit and your right hand between the horses ears on the crown piece. Put the bit to the horses mouth and use the command the horse knows. When the horse accepts the bit slide it into the mouth. Pull the top of the bride over the horses ears. If you have a bridle with sliders, make sure they are not in the horses eyes. Then buckle the throughout latch and any other buckles you have.
Tip: If the horse it resisting the bit, slide your finger in his mouth (not behind the teeth) and in the near back of his mouth you will find a space with no teeth. Push down on the gum, it will force the horse to open it's mouth, then you can slide the bit in quickly.

Yes, a horse can eat small carrots while wearing a snaffle bit, but it may be challenging for them. The bit can restrict the horse's ability to open its mouth fully, making it difficult to chew.
