Please Reply to: karen dekat@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

Hello.  I am a lurker here from Manitoba Canada.  I just bought a new horse, a 
11 year old arab to do CTR or Endurance (not sure which yet)

I rode her for the first time this past Sunday.  I rode her in a broken snaffle 
with anti-pinch cheek pieces.  apparently the old owner used a broken snaffle 
as well..so..i didnt think much of it.  BOY was I WRONG!!!  The way out was OK, 
the way back,,,it all turned to hell!!!!!.   All she did was toss her head 
violently, then she reared...OMG!!!  (thank god for my helmet).  i had visions 
of this horse being tranquilized when i test rode her on the friday before.

Well...after much thinking and researching the archives here...we tried a 
mullen bit and it was AMAZING.  I took her for a short boot around last night 
and she didnt toss her head once!!!!!!!!!!

I had searched the archives on headtossing and somebody had said that this 
works.  Whoever that was..i owe you very much!!!!

Thanks again.   Karen
