Victoria Patton says: After viewing your critique, I lunged him the next day and your suggestions when he would try and spin were a huge help. He tried it a couple of times, so I tapped him with the stick while looking at his butt; he was startled and jumped out but went forward, with a little drama, but I just kept on my mission. I could see he was thinking about doing it at the same spot again, but I was ready and he just kept going. Watching the video, I also noticed his mouth was busy at times, sometimes opening. Is that something to be concerned with, or will that lessen as we progress? Thanks again, Will.,

Great job! Yes, all the problems with the bit will disappear when you get the horse working consistently over it’s back and you really shouldn’t think about riding until you see the mouth become quiet on the lunge.
Victoria Patton says: Ok – thank you!
