Plastic eggbutt. It's a bradoon because the snaffle is a bit chunky for his little mouth.
Noseband is just a cavesson or crank but always done up loose.
I don't really have a problem with stronger bits as long as people acknowledge how harsh they are and use them accordingly (eg not try and work forward into a contact in a massive leverage bit).
I also don't really get schooling in gadgets - a, horse tends to revert to normal as soon as it's taken off, and b, it's usually not working over its back, just tucking it's head in. Of course it's sometimes justified but it really would be a last resort from me. (And my horse used to be a giraffe!)
