This is the other. I'm guessing twisted single-jointed snaffle with shank?

The mullen. Current setup. Have only had her wear it and done send and bend in prep for ground driving. She seems comfortable enough in it-no real big objections

Hi Mr. Boatwright. I was hoping to get some insight on bits. This is the first horse I'm breaking to ride in a loooong time. I have 2 what I believe to be junior cow horse setups. One is a dogbone double jointed snaffle ( i would need to look at the other one again). But these are just leftover bits from back in the day that my uncle would've just had me ride with. I never learned much of anything about bits- just rode in what I was told to ride in.

Anyways, both of these bits have shank on them and that's just not where I want to start a new horse. So I purchased a Mullen bit on d-rings thinking it would be lighter on her, but now I'm second guessing myself and wondering if that is too heavy or harsh a bit to be starting with. Would love to hear your two cents and/or specific recs. I've also got a sidepull on the way, just because I used to really like starting there to just not be in their mouths right away

Replied on How To Handle Feet On A Horse That Wants To Kick

Richardthat would be awesome! There's a little trouble in one of her front feet, but not to the point I can't get it up. It's her back feet. She wants to kick out a bit-not real mean, just "get away from there" type. I've been using a rope on the back feet so far and have been able to slowly get her resting in the rope for short periods rather than holding the back legs up and being real tense about it. I've been able to get to the point of briefly holding with my hand after picking up with rope, but that's a far as we've made it. I know it'll take time. I just want to make sure I'm being as efficient as I need to be to help her learn and feel confident with it.

sorry for the book
