Daisy's Difficult Mouth - Test One, Myler bit.
Daisy is a 6yr old TB mare who had a heavy racing career with 31 races under her belt. She has quite a difficult mouth and draws her tongue back into her mouth which causes a 'snoring' noise. We are trying a series of bits to see if we can help her get comfortable before we take her bitless. Apart from this minor hurdle, she is fabulous, kind and will be up for sale soon :-)

Every horse needs a rider like this.
this is a fantastic thing to watch, thank you kelly, trying to find someone who doesn't think they are the be all of horse training & talk with a split tongue is very hard to find. Keep up the great work & keep it plain & simple. I enjoyed watching & its very useful because here in Australia we have a lot ottts, i for one have had one & he took me to championship hack within 3 years.
What a wonderful rider you are, well done.
I have a thoroughbred who sucks his tongue back something fierce. He is most comfortable in a myler level 3 with hooks (like the bit you are using) just one thing I noticed is that you aren't using the top hooks which is making the bit roll forward onto her tongue (the purpose of the top hooks is to make the bit stand back upright on release of pressure like a Pelham would do). She probably likes the Pelham because it stands back up and releases pressure when the rider releases
Great videos Kelly. You have lovely hands.
I think a lot more people should hear your statement about the flash noseband. so many people just slap it on without knowing what it does or why they are using it.....
Did this horse end up bitless? I would love to see the difference if so.
I got a gorgeous walking horse mare a couple weeks ago and am having trouble finding the right bit for her. She doesn't know how to neck rein bit her previous owners were riding her in a ported curb bit. My goal is to get her to ride nicely in a bitless sidepull Like my other horses bit shes not ready for that yet. I just have a major problem with trying to direct rein with a long shanked curb bit! I'm so worried that I'm pulling on her mouth, I dont want to hurt her or traumatize her more than she has already been🥺
I recently bought an OTTB with this exact same mouth behavior. I would love to know if you were able to resolve it, and if so, what worked. Thank you for the great video!
Every try a Miracle Bit?
Is she pregnant or been in a good paddock? She has a massive belly!
Honestly great video,but anytime there's the slightest amount of foam or head tossing you should definitely keep working on it,but after aggressively throwing the head and foaming at the mouth I'll stick to a hackamore.i love how you talk about the flash nose band,it not the
