I have a mare that is constantly trying to put her tongue over the bit.
I tried a Kelly bit with a port to try to prevent it but she fought so much with the port. She bruised the side of her tongue.
I finally got a straight Mullen mouth with copper mouth piece and she seems to be going ok with that for now.
But I am afraid when I take her out of the arena I might need a little more bit because she is a very forward mare.
I would like to know if anyone has a horse with this problem and what did you use?
I was thinking of a bitless bridle but it is so expensive to buy one and then find out she doesnt like it. Let alone to show I will need to get her back in a bit.
