Should i or shouldn't i???

Hi all

i bought a Sprenger kk ultra loose ring snaffle with the lozenge -cant remember the size...I got this in mind for my lippi when hes grown up and can use a big boy bit

now my welsh d is ridden in a H/M mullen pelham with two reins he seemed to like it...but he had his teeth done 14th march 2013 - which hadnt been done for two years due to issues with devil children etc... so obviously my brakes were a bit iffy!!

But i took him out thursday and he was really 'funny' with bit headtossing/snatching etc and my brakes were crap!!

I was thinking maybe now his teeth have been done he might not like his bit anymore..so i thought maybe i would try the sprenger on him...good idea or not ??? i can take him up the bridle way directly opposite so theres only the farmers crops that are in danger if my brakes fail...

What'd'ya think??? Silly idea going from a stong bit to a mild one???

Any ideas ??

No real reason not to give it a go? Can you ride in the school first and test his reactions? My mare went from a Waterford to a snaffle when I got her... As she has got fitter and more capable we have had to work our way back up a little

No unfortunately we just have a field so bridleways or the back field which is just mud atm i think ill try it if he's to strong ill just hop off and walk home
