To put a bridle on a horse, stand on the left side of the horse holding the bridle in your right hand. With your left hand, gently lift the horse's upper lip to expose their teeth and insert the bit into their mouth, making sure it sits comfortably. Then secure the bridle around the horse's head, ensuring it is not too tight or too loose.
A gentle bit for a horse is usually a snaffle bit, which provides direct pressure to the corners of the mouth. This type of bit is ideal for training young or sensitive horses, as it offers a mild and non-threatening way to communicate with the horse. Gentle bits prioritize comfort and respect for the horse's mouth.
Penicillin comes in several different forms. Oral, IV or IM. Which means by mouth, injected into a vein or injected into a muscle. By mouth does present some challenges if your horse is a picky eater. You may have to be creative to get him to take it. IV injections need some degree of knowledge of equine anatomy and some experience finding a vein. IM injections are the simplest way to get the medicine into your horse. Best given in the big muscles in the neck or hindquarters. If your not squeamish about needles this is the way to go.

Yes, the phrase "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth" does have its origins from the legend of the Trojan Horse. It refers to the idea of being ungrateful or overly skeptical when receiving a gift.

Standing on the left side of the horse, put your left hand on the bit and your right hand between the horses ears on the crown piece. Put the bit to the horses mouth and use the command the horse knows. When the horse accepts the bit slide it into the mouth. Pull the top of the bride over the horses ears. If you have a bridle with sliders, make sure they are not in the horses eyes. Then buckle the throughout latch and any other buckles you have. Tip: If the horse it resisting the bit, slide your finger in his mouth (not behind the teeth) and in the near back of his mouth you will find a space with no teeth. Push down on the gum, it will force the horse to open it's mouth, then you can slide the bit in quickly.
