Before I bought my horse, he was cowboyed. If you dont know what that is,its when a horse is made to run barrels and nothing else. No fun trails or anything. So when I bought him, he was pretty much crazy. Over the 3 years that i have owned him, I have trained him alot. But now I have been working on some dressage with him and I have been lunging him over some caveleti. (hope i spelt that right) he has been doing really good in the ring but if I want to just take him on a pleasure ride he gets all hyper and he doesnt have any brakes at all. I have tried using different riding hand and leg signals and i have tried using a kimberwick strait mouth, a double jointed D-ring, a snaffle, and an eggbutt. the one that worked the best was the kimberwick. but it just didnt have what i wanted. not enough brakes.i thought about using a slow twisted snaffle for more brakes. should i?
