They are useful pieces of equipment, but are lethal if used incorrectly.
as far as im aware you cant ride in them.. and im not sure why you would want too!!! there is a bitless chifney which is basicallly a hackamore of a diffrent design..

There is a bit that looks like a chifney that can be ridden in, I think it's called a Dexter ring bit?!
Ditto!
Would never use one!!!
If they are used by an inexperienced person and the horse rears can it not break their jaw??

A dexter ring bit is 2 bits. The one which has the reins attached to and the other one which is a leading bit similar to a chifney. The difference is that the dexter ring bits are attached to one another whereas when you use a chifney it is a bit in its own right and not attached to the riding bit.so chifneys are the ones you lead with right? you dont ride in them (as the bit)? and what are these dexter ring bits? i was looking at a photo but cant work it out?
