Which is harsher for a pony.
A straight bar loose ring snaffle or a Cambridge snaffle?
When pony was broken in they used the latter as they said it fitted him better. I have continued using it as he went well in it and it is quite thin so good for his little mouth.
Would using a larger straight bar give him a less responsive mouth? I am aware that for a pony you dont want them as responsive as a dressage horse but also want some control.
I am just nervous about him being made dead in the mouth..is that likely to happen with a straight bar and a novice rider more than a Cambridge?
