I think they're brill, my pony is normally quite steady so is ridden in a snaffle at home. At Pony Club rallies he can sometimes be a bit speedy. We've tried endless bits but this one is definetely the best. I like it because it's a snaffle bit until he starts being silly. He tends to lean on the bit and I find this bit to really help

Only bit that works on cob out hunting! went out of fashion for ages except for polo people but now i see loads of them.

I really like them. Had one horse who was a nutter in most things appart from a vulcanite (sp) Cheltenham Gag.

God send, the only thing I can safely hunt my coloured lad out in, the only true gag action can be got with a Cheltenham, plus the snaffle mouthpiece makes it a good comprimise.

Love it, I always ride Lance in one.

 

[Bright_Spark]

It was the only bit I could ride Gypsy in- and sometimes I still could not stop her in it

 

[Sneedy]

Great bit...was also the only bit i could hunt and XC my old show cob in!!

 

[Christmas Crumpet]

Cheltenham gag all the way!! Its the only bit I can stop my little coloured mare in out hunting - otherwise we end up in the next county when she finally decides to stop!!

Its working well for me atm, but don't want my boy to get too used to it, and it not work, so thinking about trying a myler combination as well.
