Do you have a bit you swear by?

Magicmelon, not sure if you were talking to me but this is the bit I have.

It is the lozenge snaffle on this page http://www.neueschulebits.com/acatalog/copy_of_Snaffles.html
 
Hanging cheek happy mouth snaffle. Someone gave one to me as it was too small for their horse and mine seems to really get on well with it. PLus for some reason it makes me more aware of what I am doing with my hands.
 
I really like the NS comfy contact, mine go brilliantly in them.

On my old boy I use a cheltenham gag with 2 reins for anything where jumping is involved, I can let him bowl along on the snaffle rein, but when I need brakes I know I've got some!!
 
Happy Mouth Loose Ring Snaffle works great on my boy's flatwork.....he's got a very sensitive mouth and the happy mouth encourages softness for him.
