[RC] Yearling mouthiness - Rosalie MarleyI have an ungelded yearling colt (was 12 months old in mid-april). He has been handled lots since birth and was pretty civilized until he hit 11 months and became really mouthy - just grabbing everything. While grooming him last night, I tried a non-jointed bit with a copper roller - just hanging it his mouth with a nylon headstall (not touching teeth). He was tied by his halter. He kept himself busy playing with the bit instead of mouthing/biting everything else. I'm wondering if this is a bad thing to do, and what else can I do to get him to keep his mouth to himself?
