Some bit suggestions pretty please

[martlin]

Right, I need some bit suggestions for one of my horses...
She has very wide head with a dinky mouth in it and a fleshy tongue, naturally on the forehand (well, she is built for cart pulling after all) and rather dry mouthed. Very fussy and argumentative with her mouth but never strong. She seems to improve with sweet iron/copper bits, but I'm struggling to find something suitable as I need at least 6''...
Tried Mylers - no good, won't spend £100 on a bit either, so bear that in mind
Any ideas?

Yep, a nice thin Neue schule Team up bit Nice metal, loose ring so difficult to lean on, nicely shaped to fit in the mouth, thin so doesnt take up much room, and a nice acceptable metal

Would that be in the ''£100 - OH is gonna kill me'' category by any chance?

Nope! £34 I think....
