[RC] Help With Kicker - Vchorsegal

Angie-
  If you have no control w/ the french snaffle- i like to move up to a tom thumb w/ a light hand.  Personally- I hate a horse that runs thru the bit, especially an endurance horse that can go for 50 miles !! Also- I have had some luck wiith a crop while riding after I give a few lessons with one on the ground.  If he kicks at something while on the ground, swat him in the butt where a mare would correct him.  The hose is a good idea, tho i hope he won't hate to cross water.  Heck, maybe he'll swim better !
I would have a friend around and wear a helmet when you do this !  Good luck !
