The term 'tender mouth' refers to a horse that won't or can't tolerate a harsh bit or a rider's hard hands on the reins. Most horses start life with a soft or tender mouth. Through years of improper or poorly fitting bits and riders with harsh hands the corners and bars of the horse's mouth can either get tough or they can be extra sensitive and touchy around his mouth.
My motto is 'use the least amount of bit to get the most from your horse'. In other words, start with easy, humane bits and hopefully you won't need to ever put a harsh bit in your horse's mouth. As long as you are getting what you want from the horse there is no need to go to a harder bit. I have senior aged horses that still respond well to an eggbutt snaffle.
