You are an idiot!!! Oh my gosh!! You are forcing him to take the bit!!!! You aren't correcting anything only creating more bad habits... You can't even put the bit in his mouth correctly..... I feel so sorry for that horse.
You are wrong, when I left he accepted the bit every time, and has from then on. I used the approach and retreat method, you can do it any way you may wish.
Rex I think u should take the stir up and put it over the saddle while trying to put the saddle on because it keeps hitting him and it is scaring him... just a though for ya :)
