I want to put an overcheck on an open bridle. A horse I'm working with wants to ground drive with his nose on the ground like a scenting hound. I thought it was temporary, but he's done it two days in a row. So before I start zip tying and getting creative, I wondered if anyone had done this and if there are constructive suggestions?
I think one or two times with the overcheck will stop this hound-dog behavior before it gets to be a habit.
I longed him today with the overcheck and blinders bridle, but that isn't what I want right now. I want him to see all around--no blinders.
As an aside: all this winter fur is sure a pain when working with so many straps! Bridle, overcheck, halter... I have his beard trimmed and a bridle path, but he still has enough hair on his face and forelock to stuff a mattress.
