Unfortunately I haven't been able to practice in quite a while as it's been winter here and too snowy to drive. Cuzco also has not been up to driving. At his age, we restrict work to times when he feels fit and feisty, and as winter got longer his weight and energy levels dropped. The younger goats haven't grown into the bit yet and probably won't for a few more months. However, I did put it on Sputnik just to wear (no reins) for a while during the goat show last weekend and he did pretty good. He hadn't worn it in quite some time, so he protested when I first fastened the bridle on, but he settled down pretty quickly afterward. I'm surprised he calmed down so fast considering how little time I've spent working with him over the winter.
I'd really like to try a mullen mouth too, but I haven't ordered one yet. I think it would be gentler than a french link, but they do tend to slide side-to-side more, so I should probably wait until my goats are full grown so it fits their mouths very well before trying one out.
