Rode at home... rode in jump bit without hooking the reins. hacked out nicely to the arena but chompy once in the arena. And this bit is noisy when she chomps! Drove me bonkers. BUT... much more uphill balanced feeling and slower tempo. No curling... but perhaps a bit above the bit. But got some really nice soft lovely trots on a very loose connection.
too many jumps in the ring to practice the test.. could barely even do a 20 meter circle, but... had a good ride. hacked home in the pasture and did a tiny trot out there too. pretty good pony!
not sure what the magic solution will be but perhaps riding in this for now will help with her balance and tempo. may try the baucher... or kellis' metal mullen mouth with a slight port...
