I have a 23yr old morab (morgan, arabian cross) mare. She is trained for barrel racing, western, english, and small jumps. She will turn on a dime and speeds up whenever (or not) I ask her. But she will not stop when I ask her. My trainer has suggested to get a bit other than the snaffle so I did I got a proffessionals oppinion (he set me up with the curb) The curb worked for about 2 days, now it has no more effect than the snaffle. And it is actually harder to get my cues across with it. So my question is what other things can I try? My trainer suggested doing a jiggsaw ( where you pull up on one reign at a time sharply, to confuse the horse to slow down) I have also tried saying things while pulling back on the reigns. I have also tried getting closer to her mouth with my hands and pulling back.
