I just wanted to comment on your warning to people about the french link bit being a harsh bit, the french link is actually very mild, it is the Dr Bristol which has the middle plate on an angle and is harsh 🙂

note the flat center piece of the bit. This is not round.
Dr. Bristol

again a flat center to the snaffle bit.
This makes both of these bits harsher then the bit I use which has a dogbone center that is oval and round.

THIS WAS AMAZING!! I have a horse at home I am going to try this with ASAP… for the next THREE months! She needs it bad. Perfect, thanks!
I hope you have some success! It does take time to re-train and a horse that is behind will always do that if stressed, worried, or pushed too hard as their stress reliever. Just be patient. 🙂
Having read this I thought it was really enlightening.
I appreciate you taking the time and effort to put this short article together.
I once again find myself spending way too much time both reading and commenting.
But so what, it was still worthwhile!
Thanks! I hope it helps and gives you some ideas to try.
