is this : http://www.cybercheckout.co.uk/produ...th-pelham.html
the same as this :http://www.goytmill.com/detail.jsp?p...92&src=froogle

the first says it is softer, and i was thinking of getting it as the mouthpiece looks narrower, but i dont want to get the first if its not going to work as well as the second one, which is what i was using in my last lesson?

http://www.geegeecouture.com/products/tack/457/korsteel_soft_rubber_mullen_mouth_pelham - chunky one

smaller one - http://www.cybercheckout.co.uk/products/korsteel-flexi-mullen-mouth-pelham.html

if these dont work it is basically the korsteel flexi mullen mouth pelham, which seems a thinner mouthpiece and says is softer, compared to the thick soft rubber kind

I think it depends on the horse tbh.
Some horses have a preference but i think the flexi korsteel one will last longer as the rubber ones seemed to get chewed very quickly.
Also if your horse has a thick tongue it might be worth getting the thinner one
Sorry not much help, hopefully someone more knowledgeable out there

he is a cob but has tried the thick rubber style on, and he was ok, but i think would be more comfortable in a thinner one, just didnt know if it was like a happy mouth as he chewed on one of those lol

yes the happy mouths are also made out of polyurethane. Some people say they prefer them but my mare chewed on one and ended up with sharp bits on it.
If your horse is comfortable in the rubber one then go for it
