Double bits?

[katiejaye]

Ok i've been borrowing for the past few weeks my instructors double bridle/bit and Louis is now going fantastic in it. I have invested in a lovely Rhinegold Comfort double bridle but now need to invest in some nice bits.

So my question is which type of weymouth would be the best and how do I decide which shape/type would best suit my horse? Furthermore, I wondered how the sizing works for Bradoons and Weymouths...my instructor mentioned that one should be slightly bigger than the other (my boy normally taked a 5.5). His normal snaffle bit is a loose ring french link so I have assumed the best thing would be to go for the same in the bradoon.

Thanks

I like the neue schule ones (as a cheaper alternative to the KKs!)
yes I'd stick with the doube jointed bradoon and prob a straight bar low ported curb.

Oh and you'll prob need a 5 1/4 curb and a 5 3/4 bradoon

thanks very much for the help, I've ordered the NS 5 3/4 trianing lozenged bradoon and the 5 1/4 Gently Curved Cut-away Weymouth (7cm shanks).
