That's so cool! I do ride horses so I know most terminology. I imagine that they are NOT fond of the bit....I do understand why, though! I wouldn't like a big metal bar in my mouth.Basically we start with lunging them everyday for a short while, and then slowly start putting them on a bridle (the thing around their face and nose with the bit) and get them used to that for about a week. After that, we put them in a saddle and get them used to that. When starting to get on them, we lean on the saddle every once in a while and soon we can completely get on them without spooking.
