George, my heavy cob, has recently not been happy with his bit. I usually ride him in a french link loose ring snaffle but he has started chewing on the bit and after 30 mins or so snatching at it and tossing and shaking his head. The Equine Dentist has been out for the 2nd time and has rasped his teeth but this hasn't helped. She has now suggested that he has wolf teeth removed which should stop the problem. An alternative would be to ride in a bitless bridle but I am concerned about steering. George, bless him, spent his earlier years at a riding school and is still getting to grips with the more subtle aids, bless him. Advice please? I should point out that I am terrifed of the human dentist and can only just cope with the equine dentist. Friends at the yard have offered to help and I will cope with it if it is what is best for him
