Well Chilly was a very good girl last night but she was a little tired and frustrated last night by the time I put her away. Its not a bad thing, I threw out some tougher stuff at her while we were driving and although she 'got it' shes a bit like her mother, her brain got too full too fast. So she'll have tonight off and we'll try again on the weekend. She is now just 15.1 in the front and 15.2 in the hind and is bigger than her mother! Her father maxes out at 15.2-15.3 (he is deathly afraid of the measuring stick). Shes also gained a bunch of body condition and muscle. So onto the video:
First one is her 2nd time driving with the bit, and first time jogging with one in. She's still fussy with the bit, but she doesn't give up just tries to figure it out.
This is her lunging a bit earlier with the bit in. Still fussy, even though there is no pressure, but working on figuring it out. (And yes her teeth have been checked, shes loosing some front baby teeth but nothing that the bit would effect). Personally I'm leaning to going to a mullen mouth with some tongue relief, or a french link. Her mother is the same with single jointed snaffles.

I bet she'd love a french link!
French links are some of my favorite bits.
If you know of anyone with a sprenger kk bit give it a try. Horses love them
