Just a quick question this time~ My mare will be 3 in April and when we were out trace-clipping her the other day (its going to be almost 90 tomorrow!
) I noticed that she was starting to lose some of her baby teeth!
I haven't had a horse through all of it's teething years and so I wasn't sure what the general opinion was on continuing bit work with them. For the time being I have moved her to her halter as I have been sick anyways and not really willing to trot along behind her haha and we have been doing lots of lunging and in-hand work with it.
Would I be asking for trouble to bit her up while she is actively losing teeth? I don't mind at all staying with halter work for now as we can do plenty of fun de-spooking things and work on some more of her showmanship lessons! Just wasn't sure if it was necessary!
And just for fun, here is our wonderful clip job haha. She got a little tired of me poking around her mouth while her daddy clipped her and started to wiggle around at the end. Oops!
