Re: [RC] What is a correction mouth piece? (was: trying to find a bit) - Lori Bertolucci


Kat, if you must know why I prefer such a bit...I have disabled hands,and at 
the start of an endurance ride, my horse gets strong on the bit and pulls. The 
leverage a correction  gives me helps considerably. He goes nicely otherwise.
I am not sure what the big deal is about using something you don't agree with...

"Usage/Solution for: this bit allows the rider to

isolate one side of the bit to 

lift a shoulder and to reward the horse with a

"comfort zone" when relaxed at 

the poll. It is a good bit for collection and

stopping, as well as for spoiled 

horses, horses which run through the bit and those

which drop a shoulder."

It seems to me that this description could be used to
describe any snaffle bit if used by somebody who is aware of
their hands...oh yeah, and is also aware of their seat and
legs, since raising the shoulder, collection, and stopping
are all things that are best done from behind (i.e. with the
leg, not the hand).? 

In my experience, horses that run through the bit are
better "fixed" of this problem with seat and legs
rather than hands (after all, they have learned to ignore
your hand and a horse can run through any bit).
