Question:

My horse is sucking on her bit, what should I do?

My new (9yr old) thoroughbred mare was bred and trained to be a jumper in Florida. The people who I bought her from used a rubber snaffle, the three times they rode her. I'm using a regular snaffle and now she's sucking on it. She doesn't do it when we're out on the trail or on a jump course. She only does it if I'm just walking around in the ring or field. She is going through training (walking hills 20minutes a day, w/t figure 8's 20 minutes, 1' jumps). Should I switch her bit or up her training so she's not bored?Thanks :)

Answer:

Good question, Kinda hard to explain. I guess a bushing fits inside a fitting and an adapter fits into or over a pipe or fitting. Using a bushing instead of an adapter can save you some space if you don't have a lot of room for fittings. Look at it this way, they can both do the same thing, but a bushing is half the length of an adapter. OK are you totally confused now, me too!!
Your Mother risked her life to get you here on this Earth so listen to family because they love you and strangers do not. Swimming in clothes stops the movement through water and add too much weight and can cause drowning which mean good bye to your life forever.
I don't know why you would want to because they just weigh you down. I would skip the shoes. As if you can get some old used clothing that can be thrown away because the problem should be the clothes more than the pool or you. If I was your parent, that would be my thinking. Assuming it is a chlorinated or saltwater pool, clothes do not take too well to the chemicals.
if you are sure your batteries are good then you will need to replace your smoke detector. That beeping that you hear is suppose to be an indicator that your battery is low, so double check the battery and if they test good then you will need to replace your smoke detector. cheers
Two choices: One, do it accidentally or deliberately jump in the pool in your clothes. Are there times when they are not home and you are alone? What about having some friends over and you get pushed in? There aren't many alternatives if your parents are against it. However, you must find a creative way to convince them that it is alright. What about the idea that you have a school project? About swimming in your clothes to see how much drag there is in competitive swimming? You need to anticipate their natural response of, No! Be creative. Have you been swimming in your pool in just your underwear? If they do not complain, that is a start. Gradually work up to all your clothes. Just a few suggestions. I agree, swimming in one's clothes is fun. Just look at my photos in my profile.
