If you use a snaffle now, you can get a three ring bit which is a bit harder on your horse's mouth. Its illegal to put your reins on the 3rd ring so if he is still too strong on the 2nd ring, you have to but a bit of leather(its specially made to do this, you get it in any equestrian shop) to connect the 1st ring to the 3rd ring.
A bit is metal bar that is on the bottom of the bridle. This fits inside the horses mouth, behind the teeth, where there is a gap.
A plain snaffle or a happy mouth.
The bit
it is called a bit
no. but when you get the elastics in your mouth its a bit harder to open your mouth but you will be able to.
A horses bars are the toothless spaces in it's mouth, where the bit is placed.
The part of the tack (harness) that fits in the mouth of a horse is the bit.
hold it near the horses mouth but don't bang his/her teeth
The bit is on the bridle, that goes on their head. Its the metal thing that goes in the horses mouth. (:
It means the visible part of the bit (when it is in your horses mouth) is in the shape of the letter D.
The part of the horse's mouth where the bit rests is called the bars. This is the area between the incisors and molars, where the bit applies pressure to communicate with the horse.
keep the bridle in ONE of your hands.w/that hand rest your arm between your horses two ears and your horse will put its head down. then hold your bit in your other hand under the horses lips, tickling the back of the horses mouth w/your thumb.your horse should open its mouth so you can gently place the bit where it belongs. hope this helps!
