It’s not just a bit.
It’s not just a bridle.
It’s not just a tongue sticking out the side.
It’s not just a contact evasion.
It’s not just “but they just don’t like to work in a contact”.
It’s not just “because they’re a mare”.

All of the inconsistencies or problems encountered with a contact, are all related to this very complex array of relationships between the tongue, hyoid and associated muscles.

To read more on the hyoid and it’s anatomy, and associated pathology, please have a read of my blog post here: https://vetphysiophyle.co.uk/2019/02/05/the-equine-hyoid-apparatus/.

Just a little diagram to make us think. 🧠
