Rainy wet summer in New Brunswick Canada. Gonna probably be a hay shortage because farmers can't get on some of their fields.

Richard Boatwright He's actually quite soft in the face. The last couple of sessions he hasn't seemed to be doing it as much so I'm wondering if it's kind a taking care of itself. Although, I'm wondering if it's just not gonna be one of those things that once they learn the habbit it's always gonna be something to keep an eye on. I'll still try to get you a video at some point. It's a client horse and he's going home in a couple of weeks. Can't get the other video to play for some reason. Probably something on my end.

Richard BoatwrightI'll have a look when I have a few minutes. Thanks. Also looking for advise about a horse that has learned to get his tongue over the bit. I'm working him in a snaffle.  I tie it up to his forelock, but he still mouths the bit bad when I ask for a back up. Not sure if the bit is bothering him, or he finds it's a good opportunity to try considering the position of the bit when I ask for a back up,

No I didn't. I wasn't sure if you had one.
