My mare 16.1 ISH is currently in a happy tongue loose ring bomber.
Prior to this tried lots of bits and seems to prefer the port and no joint.
I've started doing more schooling work and having regular lessons to ensure we are moving forward and now she has started evading the contact by throwing her head.
Instructor says we are progressing
I realise the importance of schooling and small steps plus ,saddle ,teeth ,bodywork etc and bizzarley she is in the best place healthwise for a long time.
I'm considering swapping to a hanging cheek or the dc Morgan.to see if this helps, been in same bit for 3 years
She gets her tongue over the bit with jointed bits so wondered if anyone has any thoughts on which to trial first in addition to our schooling to make her more comfortable.
I am considering a bit fitter as well if I can't sort.
Shes also in a micklem and works better on a long contact and is big and long with a tenancy to be on the forehand.
Thoughts please
