OK, so where should the bit sit in the horse's mouth? I know that the BHS say the bit should sit so you have two wrinkles at the corner of the horse's mouth. However I've heard it said that horses like a low bit because they can hold it where they feel most comfortable with their tongue. I have found that Mrs P sometimes seems happier with the bit quite low (not so it's hitting the backs of her teeth, but so there's no wrinkle in her mouth). My RI reckons this isn't a good idea because she might learn to put her tongue over the bit - obviously I don't want this to happen.
So I'm a bit Does anyone have any particular experience to share on this?
