[RC] energized horses/making them that way and then toning it down! - shermanI'm curious why you want to keep them in a snaffle? I ride in a Little S Hackamore for the ease in eating and drinking, is that the reason for the sidepull? I've read that the snaffle is not necessarily the kindest bit even though it is generally used to begin teaching the horses. Maybe someone with more knowledge can speak up here.

I think he has the potential for race brain though. The other gelding I just started riding again after a layoff and have a snaffle on him. He is not so easy or sensitive. What is better, keeping a snaffle but risking putting him in circles even during conditioning rides or to change bits? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
