I bought a gelding in Dec. He has been in a pasture for 2 years not ridden at all. I rode him the day I bought him and have ridden a few times. I rode with a hackamore but did not feel safe. The guy I bought him told me he was ridden with a snaffle bit. So I bought one I have not been able to ride with it because of the weather. But anyway my question is how much control will I have with the snaffle? also when will I be able to change to a different bit or should I always use the snaffle. I have never used one before.
Also can you give some training advise he is a little green. I have never trained a horse by myself but have helped a few times. Any advice will help.
thank you
