Question # 176: What can I do to keep my TB from leaning on the bit when we are on a long canter? (Brooke)
Hi Brooke!
Horses tend to try to lean on the bit when their balance is too far forward. The bit then becomes somewhat of a "fifth leg" for them, to support the extra weight of their front end. They can, however, only use the bit for support if the rider lets them. So if you just keep holding that extra weight in your hands, you are enabling the problem. But what you don't want to do is something that I see happen all too often... (Click on Question Title above (in blue) to read full answer)
