I am aware that a waterford bit is normally used slightly oversized, so that it forms a curve when fitted, but was just wondering how much larger you tend to use, in comparrison to say, a snaffle?

Have heard mixed reports of 1/4" and 1/2" (yeah, cause buying bits that go up in 1/4" sizes is no problem

) and was wondering what your personal experiences were?

Cheers guys.

Hiya, I had the same advice and someone told me to go 1/2 bigger but I did this and found that it just looked massive! Also it was actually pinching more on the sides of his mouth being too big and louis was shaking his head around. I have now gone down to his normal size. I have checked it and it does curve in his mouth fine and is ample enough. He's going really well in it now. I would say a 1/4 bigger is best but like you I have found it hard finding one that goes up in 1/4" sizes!
 
great! It's a pity I didn't get these answers when I asked exactly the same question 3 days a go. I was told to get a size larger which I have now ordered, it should be delivered today/tomorrow.

I did exactly the same thing! I was advised on here to go 1/2 bigger so I bought one and it wasn't right at all! I also wish I had had this answer!
