Yeah, I understand the theory & guessed that would be the answer as I've heard it before, but same as I argued the last time I heard it, I think the theory is a bit anal in my opinion.
People should know to get a Waterford a size up than usual (1/4" is sufficient), just so it sits properly. When they do this, I've not known a Waterford pinch & to be honest, anyone who has to pull so hard as to make the horse bleed is either in the wrong bit or on the wrong horse! The vast majority of Waterfords are manufacturered like 'less superior' version in Kerilli's photo & as I say, I'm not aware of people having the problems that Kerilli's bitting guru is suggesting anyway...
Can anyone tell me differently? Always interesting to hear people's opinions...
