Can you use a hanging cheek snaffle with an elevator bridle????

[skychick]

Am thinking about splashing out on ponio AGAIN!!

(well a grin appeared on my face when new saddle was black and old bridle is havannah.....excuse for more shopping for pony!!)

But not sure if you can use the elevator with a hanging cheek french link snaffle??

 

[Alibear]

Yes you can .

 

[skychick]

Brilliant :-D

Still trying to decide between the elevator, or a sabre one!

 

[potty_4_piebalds]

yes you can and i like the elavator!

 

[skychick]

I think the elevator could be the way forwards, i want a bridle thats cut back behind the ears, and padded, as horse has a bit of a tendancy to be naughty by jumping around and yanking his headcollar! so i want something nice and soft around his poll and away from his ears.
Also dont want a crank noseband like alot of them seem to come with. Just want a cavasson noseband.

I have exactly what you are suggesting on my boy. Elevator bridles do have crank nosebands but you do not have to do them up tightly. Nicely cut away behind the ears, but it is fair to say most good bridle companies now do something similar. I also have a Barnsby bridle which has a padded comfort headpiece which works on him just as well.

agree, a crank done up not tightly is a comfy cavesson. Ive never used them any other way.

ditto above, I have a couple of elevators and only ever have the crank noseband loose
