What bit to use

[fisher1]

I ride my horse in a vulcanite pelham and he goes very nicely in it, not strong, carrys himself well and is very responsive to it. We have done a couple of dressage tests now in a KK lose ring snaffel but he leans on it and is very hard work in it. Can anyone recommend a legal dressage bit to use??

I use a sprenger duo on my IDxTB as he likes a port and although this only has very small V cut out of it he goes really well in it.

how about one of the mylers? The most similar mouthpiece I can think of that is dressage legal. They are def marmite bits, but worth a go? You can borrow one from here and get some good advice too, so at least saves you the initial outlay if your horse isn't keen http://www.abitdifferent.co.uk/acatalog/The_Myler_Bit_Bank.html

I haven't really seen the myler bit until now, thank you for the link i will have a look in to this.

He started off ok with the KK bit, now he leans on it and it very hard to get him to listen to anything. But he is so lovely to ride in his pelham. (Always the way)
