Sorry if this sounds rude but I'm having trouble understanding your issue because of the way you type. Is he just simply being defiant on having a bridle put on him or does he become defiant when the bridle is on him? Since you've had him for a short while but you've mentioned he's experienced with bridles, (seeing as he's done dressage) maybe he just needs time to get used to you and the sorroundings. I guess you can try the applesauce on the bridle bit if anything, but I've always preferred molasses.

It's always better for you if you ask horse communities on the web rather than here.

i have done that, i am trying to get as much info on hes bad habits everywere i can and i have heard that apple souce is very famous especialy when it comes to wormign paste. Sorry for making thigns sound a bit confusing for you but you get what im saying by teh looks and yes he is experienced with bridles becosue he was getting ridden when the auctineer was selling him and he is my first horse

do you reckon molasses would work beter? how much dos it cost?

see im not the only one who wants you to write properly. Once your finished, why don't you do a spell check!!

Anyway, why don't you call my riding coach. You know she would always help you. But you should realize
that horses throwing their head up isn't that bad because Amigo is smaller than Ernie, and Ernie throws his head up.

It might be boring for you, I know that I found it dull. But people have to be able to understand what you're talking about if you want to get help with things. ;-)

What kind of bad behaviours are you referring to, at the very end of your post? I assume you're talking about something separate to the issue of putting the bridle on?

I don't own a horse (unfortunately) so I don't know anything about your problem, but like Kazoobie said, you might get a better response if you posted on a forum dedicated to horses. For example, http://www.horseforum.com/ I rewrote your question in the spoiler below to make more sense, feel free to use it if you are posting in another forum and if it seems mostly correct.

A book that I own, called "Back to Basics: A practical guide to old fashioned self sufficiency" (Rodwell P and others, 1997) suggests some tips for putting the bridle on a horse...
- Place the reins over the Horse's neck.
- Arrange the bridle, hold the top in your right hand and reach under the animal's neck, holding the head piece in your right hand and the bit in your left.
- Place the bit against the horse's teeth, pushing gently; the animal should open its mouth to accept it. As it does so, lift the head piece over the horse's offside (right ear), then over its left ear, and adjust it.
- Do up the throat latch, remembering that it should have three fingers' space between the throat and strap. A well trained horse should be easy to bridle.

You can also search for and borrow out books out from your local school or town library that are about horseriding, yourself.
