riding reluctantly into the sunset
Hi everyone, please help as my head is spinning!
Elderly semi-retired horse needs a new bit. ( Reasons complicated so won't go in to them here )
I contacted a bitbank, myler and neue schule.
Bitbank suggested a Myler Correctional Ported Barrel Pelham
http://www.horsebitbank.com/pelham-correctional-ported-barrel-288.phtml
Myler suggested a MB36 Forward Tilt Ported Pelham Can't find a link, but the mouthpiece is as the next bit
OR a MB36 Forward Tilt Ported Kimberwick ( I hate that, surely it's a Kimblewick )

Neue Schule suggested a Tactio Universal
http://horsebitbank.com/turtle-tactio-70mm-loose-ring-975.phtml I know this is loose ring but I couldn't find a pic of the universal as it's so new.
OR possibly a Turtle Top Universal
http://nsbits.com/product/turtle-top-universal0000012300001/
I can see the reasoning behind most of the choices as the horse needs tongue not bar pressure and has a low palate.
All these bits are £120 plus ( and some are, as far as I can find, only available in the USA ) which I cannot afford.
So can anyone suggest an affordable alternative.
Many thanks.
Also extra thanks to those who responded to my previous post about the Myler MB41
