what bit do you ride in?

[Halfstep]

Neue Schule Verbindend snaffle

or Myler loose ring snaffle,

or if in double KK dressage weymouth and KK ultra bradoon.

 

[Pedantic]

D ring copper roller snaffle, think thats right, not an expert on bits.

 

[RachelB]

Berlin - JP loose ring single-joint snaffle.
Kit - Myler short shank combi with triple barrel mouth.
Maiden - loose ring lozenge snaffle.
They all go in those bits for everything, except Kit who is ridden by her owner in a Cambridge mouth kimblewick (she hates it though, hence me using a Myler which she loves).

 

[Abbeygale]

I do everything in a full cheek happy mouth straight bar. The only bit I have ever used on my mare since she was broken!

 

[WFL]

Dressage and local hacking in a french link snaffle.
Jumping, XC and hacking away from home in a Myler short shank combination.

 

[pottamus]

Loose ring french link snaffle for everything for me!

 

[berry]

Schooling and road work - KK ultra snaffle.
Hacking and everything else that involves going faster then a trot - Waterford dutch gag with roundings!

 

[the watcher]

Mylers for every thing, either comfort snaffles or hanging cheeks (and a Myler pelham for posh days out, just to look right, not because it is needed)

 

[sugarnspice]

Am currently borrowing a friends French Link Fulmer Snaffle, which he goes really well in

.
Before that he was in a drop cheek snaffle.
And I don't tend to change bits, he's in the same for pretty much everything

.

 

[lilym]

dressage = hanging cheek french link
showing = rugby pelhan and double bridle.

 

[SouthWestWhippet]

Polly
Have tried many things but now generally do everything in a kimberwick as it is easier than arguing. Anything for the lazy life.

Almost everything else I ride is currently in a snaffle (usually eggbutt but we have a few french links) If it starts tanking off we usually try either a pelham or a bubble gag.

 

[ThomasTank]

Scamperdale pelham

 

[celia]

Blade - french link snaffle

Toby - straight bar pelham (with two reins)

Gladys - magic bit

 

[beatrice]

Bea- French link fulmer snaffle for everything (will probs need something stronger for xc)
Josh- Happy Mouth fulmer snaffle.

 

[jenmac_85]

Eggbutt snaffle for everything. Not competing at the moment so that seems fine for everything.

 

[Cop-Pop]

Pony has a snaffle rubber training bit and TBx is ridden in a French link snaffle for everything.

 

[GinaGem]

Eggbutt snaffle

 

[benji12]

Dressage - loose ring french link
SJ - loose ring french link
XC -Copper roller
Slow hacks - loose ring french link
Fast hacks - copper roller

 

[lizzieb]

Both have same bit for dressage, jumping and cross country. Makes life much simpler!

 

[Ottinmeg]

[riaseed007]

flatwork-WH loose ring snaffle.
SJ-indoors waterford loose ring snaffle,
outdoors myler long shank combination with grackle noseband

[princesskelly]

In the summer i ride her in a stright bar breaking bit. She chill's out in the summer.

 

[X0XbringitonX0X]

One in a pelham all the time and the other in a snaffle for schooling and a dutch gag for hacking and cross country.

 

[Fattie_Hattie]

Schooling- french link eggbut snaffle
Hacking or fast work-2 ring gag french link on second ring
And for jumping atm-jointed pelham with roundings

 

[Coffee_Bean]

Hanging cheek single joint (I know you all hate them but hey!)
And dutch gag if feel I need more brakes.

 

[Tinker_Belle]

Pelham for showing.

Closed spoon tongue bit for hacking & general stuff.

English Hackamore for showjumping as she can be pretty strong & tank off like a loon.

 

[Tiffany]

I do everything in a loose ring french link

 

[Daphnelia]

Harrys in a ported kimblewick, Delilahs in a fulmer french link

[BeckyD]

All disciplines/occasions: NS trainer full cheek

Might need stronger brakes for XC but haven't tried it yet.

 

[KatB]

Dressage: Nomally full cheek JP snaffle, but occasional swap for Neue schule tranz link loose ring or Nathe loose ring snaffle. I change them occasionally as he gets a bit complacent.

Sjing and XC: Full cheek JP snaffle.

Hacking 98% of time in JP snaffle, but if going out with lots of people/fast work he goes in small ring balding gag with 2 reins, just in case!!
