Tranz Angled Lozenge Jumper's Choice

Any bit is harsh in the wrong hands. It depends on how independent your seat and hard are, the horse you are trying to bit, the purpose for changing your bit and the level of your experience I'm afraid.
 
That is going to have a nasty cheek squeeze when you apply the rein.

I don't know what is up with NS these days. A bit cannot "lift the shoulder" or "set them on their hocks" that is all training, not just what goes in the mouth :/

They have cottoned on to the fact that people will buy anything that promises to do the job they can't :-)

Agreed. I love their bits and some of what they suggest makes sense, but other stuff leaves me at a loss.

Reading about the Wilkie they suggested it's good for adding a little more than a snaffle (fine), but that it would be good for the novice rider or those who might not have the strength in their leg to ride to the hand, to make a rounder outline... or words to that effect.

What??? So it's just adding more pressure and pulling the nose in and making a false outline?
 
Ponio, seems to be working well in this bit. It doesn't seem to have the same squeeze effect that the Wilson Snaffle, that it clearly takes it original design from. I know all the text book stuff and have regularly applied it, but occaisionally a horse crops up with a previous history of others doing and help is needed. After professional advice, this is working well. He is no longer trying to lean and seems happy in his work.
