I just got an Appaloosa who is 5 years old. She was rode last summer, can tie, and stand to be groomed without problems but I was told that she is bit shy and needs more work with that. I would like to try John Lyon's methods as I hear he is a really good trainer to go with. I don't know anything about teaching a horse to get used to a bit so I wanted to know if any of you could offer some suggestions? And how I can get them to turn left, right, backwards, forwards? I heard a gag hackamore would be a good idea, but I want more suggestions as this is my first time owning and training a horse. I will not be spending the money for a trainer at this time since I am on a tight budget. So all comments are appreciated. Thanks.
