[peterthepony]

Do you lot all ride you horses in, i know there is lots of opinions on all different kinds of bits and was just wondering which you use and proberly why you use this type of bit?

Last bits were a hackamore (ok, so that's not a bit) and a french link.

He, he something else I'm doing wrong - a continental. He goes very well in it. I tried a few different ones because he didn't come with any tack but this is definitely the best one I've found for him.

French link, were in loose ring and sweet iron french link but too small and couldn't get a 6"

Would like the rollers for him to play with but again none in his size....

Will probs end in a hackamore.. just have this feeling but hes too young atm!

[ThomasTank]

No sorry I have no idea how to put one on here even if i did have .....
It is a straight bar that bends round at the ends....hmm not a good explanation.... ahh, it looks like a straight anhled C and it can have 2 reins or roundings. Did that explain it

 

[peterthepony]

Thanks, i think ive seen one now you have described it

A loose ring lozenge. Soon to be a Neue Schule tranz link loose ring. She came to me in that, and goes perfectly well, so no point fixing it 'cos it 'aint broken! Although she does go a bit better in a KK, so I thought as I needed a new bit (two bridles now) that I'd get her a 'nicer', more expensive one and get the NS. Plus I can't find a cheap lozenge one!

I hack my horse out in a plain snaffle, normally school him in a D ring copper roller or his double bridle if we have a show coming up.

[HorseyGirlie]

KK Ultra snaffle.... tried a happy mouth with a roller and he chewed through it... then tried a sweet iron French link, and he went OK but wasn't keen, so tried my OH's horse's KK and he loves it, so ended up buying him one of his very own!!
