Hi, Im currently looking for a bit in between a fulmer bit with lozenge and the snaffle ring of a 3 ring gag with lozenge.

I just need something a little stronger then the snaffle but not as strong as the gag but something that works in a similar way.

Thanks

What element of the action do you need to increase? In terms of poll pressure, bars, roof etc a fulmer and a snaffle ring of a 3 ring gag (and indeed a loose ring snaffle) is pretty much the same. Fulmers offer increase cheek pressure, gags offer increased poll pressure (if used on a gag ring or with double reins) Do you need your new bit to offer poll pressure but not as strong as a 3 ring gag? Or do you need to to act in a simialr way to a gag in lowering the head?

How is the horse evading the bit? Head up, head down, leaning, etc.... this will affect what you're looking for. "Strong" is very subjective.
