Sorry if I've asked this already (I think I am going a bit dippy in my old age! LOL) but not sure what would be best!
Middle daughter is helping break in a 9 year old Welsh x who-knows-what (long story but nobody has ever stayed on him long enough so far to call him 'backed'!) & despite being 14.2hh, he has a tiny mouth (LBO's 4" french-link fits him perfectly!)
Have managed to find a hanging-cheek french-link in his size so far but do you think this would be 'too much' for him to cope with initially?
I have a spare 4" eggbutt jointed snaffle I think, would this be better for him?
He is a bit 'wild' & a real handful & so far MD has sat on him & been led around (which is a darn site further than anyone else has got! LOL) but although he has been wearing a bridle (with LBO's bit), there has been no rein contact yet, she's just held onto the saddle & a chunk of mane, in case he 'explodes'!
What do you lot think?
