bitless flexions

Had a good look in Remys mouth today and found that the blind wolf tooth looked much bigger than I remember, and he wasn't really happy in me touching it, so I'm going to have to speak to the dentist and vet with a view to getting it removed.
It was raining heavily ( I really wish it would stop now!!!!) so I gave him a good grooming, some leg circles, tail circles and a face massage.
He was very relaxed by the time I'd finished, so I tried some flexions in the cavesson. I've never really practiced flexions without a bit, but was reassured by how well he did, relaxing his jaw when I asked. I'm looking forward to trying it out under saddle.

I have noticed Isba chews when I do bitless flexions (and so does Chapsi). There is definitely some kind of release of tension. A face massage sounds wonderful!
