Snaffle Bit
my horse seems unhappy with his snaffle bit and always has his mouth open.any ideas?
He recently got his mouth caught on his martingale which was scary.
The snaffle is about the gentle-est bit there is so I don't think he'd be happy with any other bit either. You could go bitless but I'm not such a big fan of bitless bridles and riding without a bit. I'd recommend just getting a flash band to keep his mouth shut while he's riding... it's like the noseband and it attaches to the top of the noseband, but you put it in front of the bit and then tighten it just like you would the noseband.

and here's a few flash bands on auction at ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/English-Flash-Noseband-LOT-of-3-Pessoa-etc-Blk-Brown_W0QQitemZ260224941258QQihZ016QQcategoryZ3169QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

STA-BRITE D Ring Snaffle Bit List Price: $24.00 |

Initial impressions count for a lot when a top hunter or equitation horse enters the ring. That is why the winning trainers use this style of bit as it frames the horse's face for a classic look. Dee bits are similar in function to full cheek bits, in that they apply some side pressure in steering and are relatively steady in the horses mouth... |
