I have been reading alot about these bits, I am hoping a Hippus might be the answer to my prayers 
- I have tried umpteen bits with my mare but she doesn't seem to like any of them! - nathe, mullen, NS, Myler etc, she is up to date with teeth, back, saddle etc. She won't take a contact and tends to curl up behind the bit, head down and in towards her chest, mouth chomping. I asked the dentist about her mouth conformation and he said excellent teeth, nothing untoward, average size tongue, not a particularly low palate, nothing there to explain why she doesn't like bits. I have tried her bitless which she much prefers but then if I am in company or she has a 'Welsh' moment, I have very little control/brakes, I feel she is better in a bit, if I could just find one she is comfy in.
Does anyone know of a UK stockist for Hippus, better stilll a place that trials them? Would love to try one before buying as they are hideously expensive which I don't mind if it sorts the problem but it's a big IF and could end up in my already extensive collection ..
