QUESTION: sir, i heard that full cheek snaffles are used for horses which tilt their head and gallop. is it true??

Answer
HI TILTING THE HEAD COULD BE FROM ANY OF MANY PROBLEMS THE HORSE MAY HAVE. ESPECIALLY BAD TEETH OR WOLF TEETH THAT IS BOTHERING THEM. WHEN YOU PUT THE BIT IN THEIR MOUTH, THAT TOUCHES THE TEETH AND THUS MAY CAUSE THE TILTING OF THE HEAD. THANKS ED HESS
