Equipment; always a touchy subject… Saddle fit, bits, nosebands – its a landmine out there with sooo many options. And of course everyone has their well founded opinion and experience (yes, me too!!). Yes a saddle must fit the horse, but it also must fit the RIDER! Nosebands should NOT be extremely tight, nor should girths.
Tip 3 – Just because it worked in the past, does not mean it will continue to work in the future so look for a different option. For example; trying a new bit instead of tightening your noseband may assist with avoidance problems.
