Hi LKC,

I had posted a thread about barrel horses with a club foot, and a friend of yours suggested I talk to you, as you have a barrel horse with a club foot. Hopefully I have the right person! I was just looking for suggestions--my horse is 3 and is showing a slight right front club foot, and I am training him to do barrels right now.

Are you eventually planning to ride this horse in a curb bit or are you hoping to keep him in a snaffle (I guess I should ask do you ride english or western)? Whenever I have a horse that starts...

It can be a very annoying problem! I dislike the tongue tabs because they alter the action of the bit and, as you say they can move it around and if they do get their tongue over the bit it can be...
