[RC]   bits and... - Cindi Hein
 
I'm still trying to find something that will work for my horse.  It has been 
trial and error to find out what will work. 
I have always used just a D-ring snaffle bit for my horses but with this 
horse,  he tends to hollow out his back in them.  He also just hates taking 
the bit.  So, it's a struggle because I don't want to hit his teeth in the 
process of him fighting me. 
I got a Tellington-Jones roller bit which - once in his mouth,  he goes 
nicely in. 
He rounds his back and gives to it great. 
But,  I got him a S-Hack  (for those of you that I got private emails from,  
you've been of great help - keep the help coming) and thought this would be 
the answer.  He could eat and drink and I wouldn't have to fight him to get 
a bit in. 
Well,  don't think it's going to work.  He's fine with it if we're just out 
walking and he's not trotting with other horses.  Otherwise,  he raises his 
head up high and I can feel his back all hollowed out.  And he shakes his 
head horribly. 
So,  finally my question is... What type of bits are all of you using out 
there and why? 
Cindi
