Hello,

Does anyone use (or know where I can find) a loose ring, fulmer / cheeked snaffle with a losenge in the middle. Had a quick scan on the internet but was wondering where I could find on (preferably one that doesn't cost the earth). Can you get loose ring fulmer snaffles - how do they work? (this may be a very numpty question!).

Cheers

:)
 
You can have either a loose ring or a fulmer - think you probably typed your question a bit quickly! I have both and (having checked again recently!) both have lozenges. Mine are both NS though which isn't cheap but horse goes very well in them. I borrowed a friends before trialling one and then put my hand into my pocket!

Nope no mis-type, what I'd love is something with cheeks for steering but with the movement of the loose ring to discourage fixing on one side of the bit. Baby pony seems to need both, rode him in a loose ring in the school and felt it was better, took him hacking in it and nearly pulled it through his mouth when he did his characteristic p*ss taking spin and leg-it at nothing very scary. I know the answer could be stop being so lazy and change yor bit for hacking but I was wondering if they existed together (somehow, although I'm not sure how the engineering of that would work).

Oooh, yes! In an ideal world I'd have a losenge instead of the flat french link but that's the cheeks I want! Thank you.

Hmm, you may struggle to find one with the lozenge... I'd get a french link, then you can just keep your eyes open for one with a lozenge :).

I usually use a loose ring Fulmar for all my babies, just a plain single jointed though and I find they're much better without the keeper loops too as there's more play then which youngsters like; with the keepers used, it's too fixed and they don't like it whether it's the incorrect way or not.
 
This had skiied off down to page 7 s just gently bumping it back up. Also, whilst I'm here - any experiences of using a bit bank, especially for more expensive bits? :)
