Was lent a NS baucher with a lozenge to try on my horse as I was finding her bit had too much play.
Long story short, she went really nicely in it but has had the last 7 weeks out of work in which time my sister pinched it to try on her pony! He also goes very nicely in it....
As it is currently on sister's bridle I have been using madam's old bit (KK 2-type with lozenge) this week and she seems much more resistant to the hand in it. Have also tried her in a nice simple loose ring french link (nicked from my sister ) which she didn't much like so I think I am going to have to invest in the baucher (friend needs hers back soon) and my sister has come to much the same conclusion.
However they are approx £65 a pop!!! So to buy 2 we are looking at upwards of £120
Having scanned Ebay I came across the Cotswold Sport bits - they look very, very similar to the NS but for a fraction of the cost...
Which leads me to the point of this post - has anyone had any experience of these bits? How do they compare to NS? Or am I better getting out the credit card and not looking at the bill?
