sorry about the caps :-), i am looking at getting one of the snaffles, seems to be out of the 8022NS Tranz Loose Ring or the 9010 NS Verbindend Loose 70mm Ring Snaffle now can anyone help? with reccomending and also are they really as good as two what they make them out to be? i have found a shop near me that actually stocks them but will have to order one in.... which one anyone? or does anyone know what them two really are "meant" to do, i looked at the booklet in the shop and i couldnt decide between both of them because they both sounded alright, now i no its only £40 but its still alot for a snaffle so any help whatsover would be very much appreciated

thanks guys x
 
I think they are very good bits but there is no substitute for some good local knowledge if you can get it.
I ride Lady in the tranz lozenge Baucher which she seems happy with. It was recommended by an instructor when I first got her. What surprised me was that a 5 and 3/4 inch was needed, probably wider than I would have assumed without advice.
 
I have three of their bits, and each one does what it says it should...and each time I rang the helpline on the website to get information Heather was really good at working out based on my description of the issues and then offering a suggestion on what bit. They also have a clever little paper thing to cut out and use to measure horse's mouth for deciding what size to get.
 
I use their bits as well. I tried the tranz lozenge in hanging cheeks but star manged to grab it. So we tried the Verbindend and it's brilliant. Incidentally, she has a 5" mouth, but we needed a 5.75".
 
They are good bits, however,...

they come up small, be sure to measure your horse's mouth properly, and, I find that they mark very easily.

I had one that a horse managed to "crunch" and the metal was dented and had a sharp edge:(
