Bit help???

[northerngirl]

My horse is a monkey for leaning on me... Currently going through the process of teaching him to do all the work & not me!!

I have had the usual back, teeth, saddle done.... Bit wise I have been advised to try a Cherry Roller or Waterford, what do you think?... Want to avoid gags, etc as much as I can...

Please help?

Yep, cherry roller or waterford would be good as not that easy to lean on. Also a Myler maybe? they are quite tricky for the horse to grab and pull as they are very bendy

Something bendy in the middle the horse can't lean on would work best. Both a cherry roller and a waterford fit that bill. Neither are gag bits - although the can be fitted to gag type cheek peices.

If you can find a local or postal bit bank that would be best as you can try out bits without having to spend a fortune on ones that don't work!
