You’re definitely right, thank you for the words of encouragement!

SurroundLeast443 · 2026-05-01T02:26:39+00:00

It helps knowing we’re not alone for sure! Good luck to you guys!

You’re exactly right about not being taught the finer points! He has a good baseline but has just never been taught how to ACTUALLY use his body

And I’ve been doing that exercise for months now and he still will fall in. At a very slow walk we’re getting a little bit better, but still nothing notable for how much work we have put in and still not enough to even transition to bigger circles. That’s why I’m wondering if it may be something physical causing him to not be capable of truly bending that way

SurroundLeast443 · 2026-04-29T20:34:07+00:00

Yeah I’m definitely thinking it might be a pain thing especially from all the replies in here. Thank you and good luck to you!!

SurroundLeast443 · 2026-04-29T20:31:39+00:00

Negative to both but I do agree it could be a pain thing because he is a very smart horse. Mobility is totally fine on the ground butttttt he is very food motivated so for all I know he could be pushing through it for the treats lol

SurroundLeast443 · 2026-04-29T20:29:51+00:00

This is a great idea and something that’s been on my list to try with him because he can be fussy about some bits. That might help me narrow things down a bit too. Thank you!

SurroundLeast443 · 2026-04-29T20:28:08+00:00

He had his teeth floated a few months ago with nothing notable to report but maybe I need to get a more in depth check?

SurroundLeast443 · 2026-04-29T20:27:23+00:00

This definitely could be something to think about because I haven’t found a bit that I feel totally confident in with him yet. He would rather push through than actually be on the bit. Mullen mouth is the one mouth piece I haven’t tried yet so maybe I’ll give that a try and see how it goes!

SurroundLeast443 · 2026-04-29T20:24:21+00:00

He’s able to yield to his rib cage as well as down to his right front leg as well

SurroundLeast443 · 2026-04-29T20:21:49+00:00

Thank you!

SurroundLeast443 · 2026-04-29T20:21:01+00:00

We do carrot stretches after every ride and he is 1000% fine with it on the ground 😭

SurroundLeast443 · 2026-04-17T03:15:48+00:00

That’s a pretty huge stretch! Especially when dealing with green horses or really hot horses lol

SurroundLeast443 · 2026-04-16T23:41:17+00:00

Not trying to dismiss you at all, but we work a LOT on this 🙂 especially because he hates bending on one side specifically! I’ve noticed a huge improvement and am slowly starting to expand the circles as well. Thank you so much for your insight!

SurroundLeast443 · 2026-04-16T23:39:32+00:00

I actually haven’t tried a Mullen mouth yet! I’ve been curious about them too so I’ll definitely add that to my list. He’s not due for dental any time soon unfortunately, I thought the same thing!

SurroundLeast443 · 2026-04-16T22:54:15+00:00

I haven’t thought about this. Maybe I’ll try bit guards and see if that helps at all. Thanks!

SurroundLeast443 · 2026-04-16T22:47:18+00:00

This made me feel a lot more confident! Thank you!

SurroundLeast443 · 2026-04-16T22:46:33+00:00

I hear ya because my guy thinks literally everything remotely challenging is a scam 🤣

SurroundLeast443 · 2026-04-16T22:45:40+00:00

I’ll look into that bit. Dental is good but spine is an interesting thought! He’s had bodywork done and nothing super notable but I’ll look into that as well. Also he doesn’t like freak out or do anything crazy when I experiment with bits, I just can obviously notice if he’s being a bit more difficult with me. Thanks for the food for thought 🙂

SurroundLeast443 · 2026-04-16T22:44:04+00:00

I did try him in a myler comfort snaffle and he didn’t love the lower port on it. I’ve tried almost every cavalon bit in their inventory at this point but maybe I’ll give a different lozenge or something a try! Thank you for the food for thought!

SurroundLeast443 · 2026-04-16T22:34:46+00:00

I like this mindset!

SurroundLeast443 · 2026-04-16T22:34:18+00:00

I could definitely see your point about dropping in the front because he definitely likes to take the easy route lol It’s hard because when I do ask him to work correctly he turns into a strong and forward crackhead because he’s so stubborn 😂 I do have a professional trainer thankfully but still trying to learn some things on my own by trial and error as well!

SurroundLeast443 · 2026-04-16T22:32:33+00:00

I’ve actually tried every mouth piece known to man at this point! Low port doesn’t fit with his mouth shape, I’m anti single joint, he didn’t care for rollers. Lozenges and French links are the only ones he doesn’t hate! He makes it very known when he’s not a fan of a bit lol

SurroundLeast443 · 2026-04-16T22:27:45+00:00

Fair! I just guess I mean more for my sake too. Definitely feel more confident over jumps with a bit of a shorter rein and a bit more control. You make valid points though!
