Shires Blue Sweet Iron Hanging Cheek with Roller Link

[YoungNag22]

Hi there,

Can anyone tell me about this bit? If they have either used it before or know more about the roller action?

The description from shires states that the rollers will soothe a fussy tongued horse. If this is the case I think it may suit my boy but I don't have any knowledge on roller bits.

Also - would this bit be dressage legal?

Thanks!

I think there are probably better bits with rollers/droolers out there than that.

The rollers are square and loose, and could be pinchy on the tongue, but what strikes me, is how short the cannons are. You may end up with connections being right on the bars, which would be extremely uncomfortable.
