As some of you may have seen, over the last few months I’ve had the wonderful Kirstie from Forelock and Load<\/a> helping me find a suitable dressage bit for Elle. Head over to their Bitting Advice<\/strong><\/a> for more details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elle is EXTREMELY light in the contact in 99% of bits, although she may look and appear round, to ride she gives absolutely no feeling down the rein, because she is reluctant to take a confident contact forward. Because of this, she had a tendency to drop behind the vertical or have a slightly higher frame and when tension came into play, because she wouldn’t seek a contact forward and out. She would lock through her back and the rhythm would simply quicken to a more ‘up-down’ action, rather than flowing forward, relaxed and out in the neck. Thankfully because I’ve had her for 3 and a half years, I have always known how to disguise the flaws in a test but because we had started to ‘up our game’ recently, I was really desperate to find something she felt more secure in as it was stopping us from progressing in our training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
