Its called the Nutri Bit, and basically it delivers a flavorful liquid into your horse&#8217;s mouth through the bit. You dispense it by pushing a button on your reins.<\/p>\n<p>If you check out the post by a fellow clicker trainer about the Nutri Bit you can easily see why she&#8217;s so excited to try it. Its essentially the same reason why I just HAD to do a post about it too.<\/p>\n<p>Myself, I&#8217;m imagining being mid-spin around a <a href=\"http:\/\/trickponies.wordpress.com\/mounted-games\/\" target=\"_blank\">mounted games <\/a>obstacle and &#8220;dispensing&#8221; the &#8220;treat&#8221; to my horse for an awesome spin without ever breaking stride.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also picturing getting Boomerang over his extreme distaste of the bit &#8211; he&#8217;s the reason I now ride my ponies in a <a href=\"http:\/\/trickponies.wordpress.com\/2009\/04\/11\/it-makes-mouths-happy\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bitless Bridle<\/a>. As much as I love the Bitless bridle I still have a few control issues with Boomerang, and I don&#8217;t like the fact that he&#8217;s figured out that by bucking and rearing he never has to endure a bit in his mouth again.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway that being said, I&#8217;m anxiously awaiting the &#8220;Clicker Training Review&#8221; on the Nutri Bit, and if it passes the test I just might have to invest. My only concern is that for my sport I really need to knot my reins or I risk tangling myself in looping reins with all the on\/off work I do. So I&#8217;m not sure the bit would still dispense properly if I did this. I&#8217;ll just have to wait and see.<\/p>\n<p>-KD<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ponypaintings.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.ponypaintings.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the clicker training blogs I read (I Feel Good, My Horse Feels Good) just did a post about a new bit that is available that is perfect for clicker trained horses!
