I just bought a new pony
Trained to drive , she will work her tongue over the bit. Is there a way to stop this? She will go along just fine, but I want to show her. Any one else ever had this problem? Help!
You're on the right track. Check into if the bit fits, if the headstall fits (holds the bit in the right place), after that it could be that she hasn't been driven long enough and just needs to get used to the bit being in her mouth. Sometimes tightening up a nose band helps but that's not really the answer.Yes she drives with a nose band. I will start ground driving her. The french link she came with was a little big. Fitted, a snaffle seems a lil better.
