Mistakes riders make with their body while riding.

Many times, the rider is sitting in the go position which gives the horse the cue to go forward. Riders need to relax in the saddle with their bottom, legs, feet and hands. When you want the horse to be relaxed you need to be in a relaxed position. Riders need to get out of the horse's mouth when you want the horse to be relaxed.

My mare fights the snaffle bit; I took her out the other day for a trail ride and rode her with a bit less bridle. She was much better. How can that be?? She dropped her head and relaxed.

We have customers that ride in bit less bridle. It’s also a side pull so your one rein stop can still be utilized. Some horses don’t like a bit. There could be issues like wolf teeth, teeth not floated, size of snaffle being too tight or too loose. The main thing would be stop fighting, allow the horse to be comfortable and if bit less works well there’s no reason to not use it as long as you have control.
