Rhonda,

Just a thought, but have you tried tightening the curb strap so the bit 
doesn't move so much?

I had a mare with very sensitive skin, and a tiny, tiny muzzle and it 
was hard to get everything to fit her right so that nothing rubbed.  I 
finally went with a pony sized Sliester Hackamore with a leather 
covered gel curb strap which was cut down, then electrical taped to 
keep it from shifting.

With a tighter chin strap (I call it power steering) you have to be 
light handed.  But if the rubs are from the bit purchase (the part 
above the mouthpiece where the headstall attaches) a tighter chin strap 
will help a lot.

Julie
