Good info!

👀 buckles matter!
Does your bridle have buckles which cover the TMJ? Are they stacked on top of each other?

It is extremely important that your bridle fits as well as your saddle!
Just look at all the nerves that exist in the horses head! All those pressure points!

It's important the buckles don't stack, don't cover the TMJ.

Does your horse rub its head during or after the bridle is on?
It's trying to tell you it has pins and needles and so the bridle is pressing on any of these nerves and is trying to rub feeling back into the area.

Discomfort around the head can lead to
- head staking
- head tossing
- tilting head
- avoiding flexing
- avoiding relaxing
- tension in jaw, neck, poll, shoulder
- poking nose
- high head carriage
- over bent head carriage
Avoiding work!

Get your bit and bridle checked! It's very important to your horses comfort and relaxation!
Let's stop anxiety and promote welfare!

Saintly hunter/eq geld. 16.3h 14yr Friesian / holsteiner cross champagne in color very striking looking. We always get comments on how gorgeous he is! He is an old soul and very sweet. More of a kick ride. But once in front of your leg carries himself.
Barefoot no maintenance. Showing with his Ammy in 2'6 rn schools 3ft at home. Smoothest canter ever! Is also trained through second level dressage. Very well broke.
Great teacher from x rails to 3ft.
Needs a little help with his changes, but does them auto 40% if the time rn.
Does need to be sedated for his trims. He had a horrible past trim at some point and needs patience.

Currently packing his owner around the chja Modifides . Great canter, very forgiving , needs a little finishing with the changes , but about 40% just with his owner working on them.
Perfect in the hunter and Eq. Slow big stride. Easy in the lines. Barefoot and no maintenance. old soul and very sweet.
