Re: [RC] Bitting, shallow mouth - Chris PausRemember, you don't ride the curb on direct contact like you do the snaffle! It worked for Zabbie because he was trained by a cowboy and taught to neck rein. You right a curb bit very light handed! When I got him reschooled to direct reining, I moved him over to the kimberwicke and can ride him either way now. He's a much happier camper. chris- -- Elkenchild@xxxxxxx wrote: Oh, wow~! I think this might be what's wrong with my appy mare, she is shallow mouthed and hates the snaffle, but I've just finally started thinking about trying the curb. What a well-timed email! I'll give it a try and see what happens.
