I currently jump Crosby in an American gag. I started off keeping it as simple as possible and stayed with snaffles for as long as possible. Anyway, his results have vastly improved, after schooling aand I have a great deal more control with the American gag (happy mouth straight bar - for no reason other than there was one in the tack room). I am taking him eventing this season and so have been trying a few other bits for XC. I thought the Cheltenham gag would be a good bet, but just felt awful (he was way too strong!).
Anyway, the issue really is that I find it hard to ride with double reins. Is there a good option that can be
used with roundings/one rein which has a similar action to an American gag?
Thanks so much in advance, any suggestions greatly appreciated. I am in the middle of exams at the moment, but so excited about our first event, BE90 at Munstead in a few week's time - yippee!
