[RC] Bit rubs - need advice - RHONDA LEVINSON

I am riding a very sensitive, thin-skinned, mare with pink skin all over her face. I've been riding her in a side pull, but just can't get her to collect very well in it and would like to switch to a bit. I found a bit that works with her extremely low palate, but it still rubs her raw even on a pleasure ride where she's on a loose rein most of the time, and even with those rubber bit guards. So, any advice for preventing bit rubs? Or for toughening up her face?

Rhonda
