RE: [bitlessbridle] Re:problem

maybe needs some sheepskin under it/some type of buffer?

There is no way he will accept the bitless noseband. If it's loose, then it rides up and has no effect. with it tight, 1 finger space, he gets very heavy, very much on the forehand and he snorts and really seems uncomfotable.

Subject: [bitlessbridle] Re:problem

This can be an annoying and sometimes difficult problem to fix but more
information is needed please

Are you refering to a noseband of a bitted bridle or of the Dr Cook
bitless bridle?
Is the noseband too tight - some horses find a tight noseband very
uncomfortable
Is there any teeth problems or even problems with the horse's nasal bone
that the noseband could be showing by putting pressure on sore areas?
Is the noseband too low and causing oncruction to the airways?
Is anything on the noseband pinching him and causing discomfort?
What reaction does the horse have to the noseband?

Does he tolerate a halter? a longeing caveson? A shadow roll or fleece on the nose-band might make him more comfortable. With any horse patient...
