Bridling the Horse - Break the Cycle of Bad Bridling
There are a few reasons a horse will avoid being bridled and unbridled. First there is the young horse who has never been taught the correct head position for accepting/removing the bit in which case we need only teach them. Then there is the horse that has been hurt when bridled/unbridled in which case we now have a justified fear issue to deal with. And finally, there is the horse that decides today he is not going to allow it and is able to get his way and now he has the upper hand in the matter. The good news is that we will address all issues the same way.
