i like it

even more impotant the horse does too

ive been uming and areing for a couple of weeks due to the way my lad has been in a bit since i brought him, x masters horse
i cant believe the diffrence its made,
we went out for half hr hack and there was no head shaking/ pulling/ grabbing the bit (probably because theres not one)
no mouth open.
we cantered and i was in full controll, the horses head was where it should be instead of nearly on the floor. one big plus was that he still stopped
im going to spend alot more time with him getting used to it, but so far so good
thanks to all for there advise on previouse posts

That's great news - I have never tried one myself as my last horse was very responsive in the mouth but my new mare I think could be a bit heavy - I will keep your positive feedback in mind. ta

Every horse is different, you just have to try things,
