How to ring in sick when you've lost your voice?Īnother bit question - universals/three ring gags Perfect spot for the ring woo hoo cant waitĮggbutt snaffle ring size and bit thickness Should i put her in a 3 ring gag to go hunting?Ĭan you ride off the big ring on a dutch gag? Gag with one set of reins on the bottom ring She is very against just using harsh bits to control the horse when it really needs training, but even she has agreed that I may need something extra for jumping. Also cannot used seat aids to help me stop as I am rather slight and am getting dragged out of the saddle!Īnd I do have very regular lessons with an experienced instructor who I respect a great deal, doing both flatwork and jumping (courses + grids). However, I felt that having a little more control with softer hands (I usually have very soft hands - very aware of making him hard mouthed protective mummy! ) would be better than having to be really quite strong with my hands because he's ignoring me completely with a french link. Thanks again for the advice everyone Just wanted to say that I've owned him for nearly 18 months and have always ridden him in a french link, the bit he was broken in, so it's not like I've only just got him and am whacking a strong bit in his mouth because I can't be bothered to train him, I don't want it to sound like that at all because it's not the case

If at any point i felt we were doing well, or i didnt need the gag i would switch back to my full cheek snaffle, just be careful you dont over use the gag. When he finally became mine I would use it only when needed, and then sympathetically, when i was riding with the gag i would ride with a loose rein no contact on mouth when he was behaving, then so i could feel his mouth, when he began to get excited, so he could feel the barrier, then when he tryed to take off do half halts, never tugging for long periods, i used to check him back just a 1 second pull, then just hold him, then soften and i found this worked well.
No one else could ride him in a snaffle and when other people rode him he was always in a gag, which i feel ment he was overridden in this bit, instead of trying to work with him, they relied on a hard bit, which ment he learnt not to respect it. I have mixed oppinions of it, 90% of the time he would go well for me in a snaffle, but if i was jumping especially cross country he needed a gag as he was so strong and got so excited. My old pony who was very badly treated for alot of his life (until i was able to buy him) who i had on loan while he was owned by the people who helped to encourage his hatred for people, was ridden with a dutch gag, not my choice as he was only on loan to me.
