Do you have a bit you swear by?

[MagicMelon]

Out of interest - are there any bits you've tried which have given brilliant results? If so, which?

 

[Super_Kat]

My bradoon used on it's own.

If I just want pure breaks then my military bit

 

[Governor]

German silver loose ring snaffles with a lozenge french link.

Or as above but with full cheeks.

 

[RunToEarth]

Three- My pelham, saved me when all else failed, both with my coloured and with Arg.
My hanging cheeks snaffle, my god, even the coloured one is schoolable in it, seriously, miracle?
Gag- not specifiying one, I like the action of the English more than its variations, but I do like Bert in an american and Berth in a dutch. Suppose its whatever fits the horse really?

 

[Toby_Zaphod]

Neue Schule Loose Ring Lozenge, my lad loves it

 

[Wooleysmum]

Yes, the gag on the middle bubble with a french link, he was very naughty on the french link snaffle only.

 

[CastleMouse]

Castle has a dutch gag on the middle ring for hunting, jumping, and hacking, he goes so well in it, it's a nice balance I think

 

[Baileysno1]

A hollow loose ring french link I got second hand for £2 have tried expensive Sprenger bits but none compare to the feel on this bit my horse loves it!

 

[PoppyPony]

my myler, has worked for both speedy hyper connie and slightly slower but-sometimes-piSses-about cob.

i love that bit and it's even better cos I got it half price 2nd hand

can be used in a few different ways as well, with/without hooks, with/without curb

love it!!

both horses have shown no risistance at all to it, lovely neck bending and i think they like the copper bits in it.

 

[k9h]

Love my Tom thumb scrub board snaffle with pacifiers (3 copper links on the link in the middle) wonderful for getting a nice soft wet mouth.
Also my neul scheul nelson gag with waterford mouth only thing that worked on my cob!!

 

[Scarlett]

anything Neue Schule as my boys love them...

 

[RobinHood]

My neue schule lozenge bit, both my boys love it, and my full cheek lozenge bit that I bought at blenheim from the derby house stand, I think it was about £10 and it has been perfect for baby horsie.

 

[MillionDollar]

My Myler High Wide Ported Comfort snaffle with hooks- fantastic bit all my horses love it, even the strong ones!

Also love my french link eggbutt snaffle and kimblewick for very strong jumping pony.

 

[MagicMelon]

[WelshRareBit]

Murphy goes best in his french link dutch gag. xx

 

[Bossanova]

My loose ring lozenge, my loose ring jointed and my myler cheek snaffle.
I'm a big fan of the soft, very flexible rubber too.

 

[claire1976]

Sweet Iron Snaffle with a copper inlay- horses love it as its sweet tasting - even better when it goes rusty!!

I have one of these for each of mine, and their flatwork has improved dramatically as a result

Full cheek snaffle with copper lozenge

 

[siennamum]

I feel quite boring in comparison to you lot, but I love straight bar (mullen Mouth) rubber or Nathe bits. Think they give you a sense of whether you are genuinely level and whether horse is level, as well as encouraging them to seek the bit, because I use them on youngsters I will also opt for one with cheeks.

 

[Nailed]

a plain and simple loose ring french link snaffle
Lou x

 

[Tempi]

kk ultra snaffle (with lozenge and loose rings) both mine have them and they work really well in them, lovely bits imo.

 

[JessPickle]

PLain Loose ring waterford schooling stopped my arm sockets being pulled out!

Waterford Dutch gag out hacking on the middle ring out hacking. Which really helps with his head down and run

 

[Emma123]

Loop ring snaffle

 

[Marbs]

Loose ring french link I am very fond of. Found that a sweet iron tom thumb with copper inlays and rollers worked very well for jumping when I had my last.

 

[kerrylou123]

Ive got 2! My french link loose ring snaffle, and my mullen mouth pelham!

 

[Law]

Same as Govnor and others, hollow, loose ring, german silver chunky mouth with lozenge

 

[Irishcobs]

Waterford loose ring snaffle. Hattie loves it. And her rugby pelham that she shows in, as she hates double bits.

 

[tinker512]

Slotted Kimblewick on both horses

 

[LEC]

I love the french link hanging cheek.

I have used it on a 13hh pony to my 17hh TB all with good results (not the same bit!)

My horse is gobby and a bit rude in anything else but in this he is polite and I do all my jumping in it and hunting. Best of all its dressage legal!
