"Horses with damaged mouths"

Dear Keith...
Tuesday, August 14, 2007
There are a lot of people adopting PMU mares. As far as I know, the one we have has never been ridden... but pastured the last year. She is starting to trust us & I feel will be a good horse.
I have 2 issues that might make for an article or two
1. RE-training specifically aimed at PMU horses (who have been tied for months on end) &/or other resuce horses that have been abused. I have searched & googled for any specifices or share-story blogs & found very little about the re-training
2. The other might be /hackamore/bits/bitless bridals etc for horses with damaged mouths. In particular, our PMU mare has a partially split tongue & a chunk of one side totally gone. Our Appy (another rescue horse) has 3 front teeth broken off at an angle.
BTW... I think these are going to be some decent horses!
Thanks

"The leverage (or shanked) bit doesn't give me any more control than any other bit. If I have to pull 5 pounds to stop my horse on that bit, I still have to put 5 pounds on this bit. Except I'm only pulling about a pound's worth, because a pound...

How many times do you think you've ridden your horse? A thousand? Five hundred? Just guess. What if every time you got on, you improved something, no matter how small? If you could just see some little improvement for each of those thousand...
