I am often asked to see young horses who are just beginning their education. A lot of horses have been backed, ridden away and are now ready to move forward with their training.
When starting your young horses education it is vital that the correct bit is chosen. If the horse is started in an uncomfortable bit they will learn how to evade it from the very beginning.
Sometimes I see youngsters in bits that are uncomfortable or perhaps too strong for their stage of learning, this doesn’t help to educate the horse in the way we wish.
Choosing the right bit can help make training sessions much more enjoyable and educational for the horse, which in turn, makes them happy in their work, cooperative and receptive to the riders aids.
Remember, although you may be experienced, your horse is at the beginning of their ridden career, so start off on the right foot, with the right bit.
