Mine is a yes when I use George's dutch gag for jumping.

One of my ponies has a loose ring double jointed happy mouth and I have rubber guards on that.

I do when Bob is in his snaffle.

I don't with mine but would if I needed to stop pinching.

 

[connie1288]

no as not dressage legal and they usually dont pinch, if they do I find an alternative bit.

I do on sponsored rides when he is full of it, but generally no, plus 9/10 times I have to change to a stronger bit when on spons rides !
