Signs You May Need Me

Evasions come in many forms, some more noticeable than others. There are many ways the horse will try to communicate that there is something amiss with his bit, some signs are obvious, some more subtle. The rider’s hands communicate down the reins through the bit to the horse’s mouth, which the most sensitive part of the horse’s body that the rider will use. If this aid is abused or the incorrect bit chosen, the horse will begin to exhibit signs of evasions as follows:

If you are experiencing any of these signs from your horse, then you need some help. Make sure your saddle has been fitted correctly in the last 6 months and a recent dental check is important too. Your dentist will notice signs of discomfort in the mouth such as ulcers, cuts and sores, these can sometimes be attributed to using the incorrect bit.
