Bits,Martingale`s.....unidentified subject
Please , describe a Kimberwick bit, is it
similar to a Tom Thumb? What is the difference, and when I purchased my Arab
mare, she was ridden with a snaffle w/shanks, about 4 inches long. My riding
instructer called it a Tom Thumb, but it sounds so like what others decsribe as
a Kimberwick. Is this like the '' lope '' vs.
'' canter '' terms ? This mare has some definate
barn sour/herd bound issues, and was also ridden with a full running martingale.
I have been doing some arena work with her , to get some lateral control and to
get her to collect. She has lots of impulsion and would also like to be high
headed.She hates the arena work, but is beginning to settle in after the first
20 mins.Is a perfect angel on the trail with other horses along.....a much
different story when we work alone.....she becomes very insecure. Please , any
suggestions on bits, keeping the head where I have a bit more control , or stay
with the martingale.....We do the arena work with a fat snaffle.
:):) Thank you, Sherrie from
