Mild Bits for soft mouths

[emzkes]

i need a realy mild but for my TB ex racer and am not sure what to get!

i am considering:
nathe/flexi eggbut mullen mouth
jeffries revolver lozenge eggbutt
neue schule eggbutt training lozenge
sweet iron/cyprium french link eggbutt

the horse has a very soft but active mouth, he is not at all strong but can be fussy in his mouth especialy when he gets nervous in situations such as shows. he is currently in a loose ring SS french link

what would you recomend?

thanks for any advice!

There is a big differnce with a french link and NS or other erganomic (SP!) link. The NS likes will remove pressure points on the tounge.
I'd try a NS or the Nathe mullen mouth- less for him to fuss with.

i've just got a mullen mouth myler with cheeks for my ex-race mare, and it is very very mild, can only move a couple of mm. just moves a tiny bit when i move my hand, otherwise it's hardly there.

I have a loose ring happy mouth with a double peanut type joint. It seems really mild for my TB mare, and wasn't expensive, about £16 ish I think.
