When we bought Bylgia almost 5 years ago, she came with Her  bit...a
double twisted copper snaffle...I admit, she was a hard one to stop
for most people.

Sally retrained her, starting off with adding a hackamore for the
whoa....but before she used it, she gave the cue that wanted to use
for stop, which was a tightning of her seat and knees, if that did
not work she cued Very slightly with the bit, then if needed used the
hackamore...

She now rides in a very comfy bit....or really a halter about 1/2 the
time as Sally rides her from her seat mostly now.

I know that I could have not retrained her, but Sally was willing and
had a lot of fun to get her horses mouth soft and subtle...it took an
effort but was well worth it.  I think we would sell the farm before
we would sell bylgia...she is the #1 horse of ours that people want
to buy because she is so much fun and easy to ride.
