How do you tell if a horse is on the bit?
Excuse me, but could you please elaborate on how one can accurately determine whether a horse is 'on the bit'? I've heard the term before, but I'm unsure of the exact signs to look for. Is it a matter of observing the horse's posture, facial expressions, or perhaps the way it responds to the reins? Could you provide some concrete examples or tips that might help a novice rider like myself recognize this state in their horse?

Why won't my horse accept the bit?
Could you please elaborate on why your horse seems to be resistant to accepting the bit? Is it a recent behavior, or has it been an ongoing issue? Have you tried different types of bits or adjustments to see if that makes a difference? Additionally, are there any signs of discomfort or pain that could be contributing to this behavior? It's important to address the root cause of the issue to ensure the horse's health and well-being, and potentially consult with a veterinarian or equine behaviorist if necessary.
