I have one for my horse who has a narrow face but big cheek teeth so is uncomfortable in a cavesson. Fine in grackle which I use for jumping but not BD legal. Drop sits too low on fleshy part of his nose due to head shape, micklem nose strap sits higher than drop. Have been really pleased with it but as above we have specific conformational issues which this bridle addresses. Only thing I would say for jumping is if you are using any kind of bit that works by poll pressure it won't work in micklem as bit is independent, connected by short straps to noseband part rather than directly to headpiece. For that reason I still use a conventional bridle and grackle with my universal for jumping
Interestingly I tried a drop noseband, but couldn't get one that didn't intrude on her nostrils, were as the micklem doesn't. I also know of a horse who couldn't where a drop noseband as it rubbed her nose, but a micklem doesn't. It's just what fits your horse best I guess.
Hi I have just bought one (yesterday) and I am yet to try it! I had a Grackle which was good but it sat too over his mouth (same as a Flash!) we then knew he would hate a Drop so we never tried it. He has been In a cavesson for the last 6 months! We have had sooo many recommendations for it so we bought the Competition one as we only do BS and BE! Everybody said how much it has worked on very sensitive mouths and that's exactly what mine has. Hope it works on yours x
