What is this bit?

scourier bit ?

[ QUOTE ]
The Scourier bit has four rings, two of which attach to the cheek pieces, the other two the reins. This results in a severe squeezing on the horse_s face when the reins are pulled. It also has a twisted mouthpiece. This should only be used by experienced riders as it is very severe.

Brownie point for ISH_LOVER ?

or it could be a wilson bradoon/snaffle (scourier minus the twisted mouthpiece) I *think*

Bits aren't my strong point

But I did recognise that 1 as a driving bit from my NVQ days

It looks like a wilson snaffle but I have never seen it used like that. We use them for driving when breaking youngsters sometimes. They normally have a straight bar.
 
The first link to hunting pics is a scourier bit, were the inside link goes through the mouth piece.

A wilson snaffle the side ring is just looped round the mouth piece.

If that makes sense. The ring is independant to the bit.
 
I think it more looks like the Scourier bit ISH_Lover mentioned http://www.horsetackinternational.com/scourier-bit.html
Don't know if I write the following in correct english, but I think it looks like both rings goes through the end of the bit on Merrily_On_Heidi's pictures, and in Kao's link to the Wilson snaffle one ring goes through the end of the bit but the other ring doesn't.

I can see the difference now! Thanks!
 
Yup thats a scourier, its used in driving more often than ridden work - although I ride in a reverse pelham and a butterfly pelham which are both driving bits. The dark bay has an english Tom Thumb (v different to a US tom thumb!) in. I like these for lifting the head and preventing the horse from leaning and tanking! Not good for those prone to rearing or stargazing tho!
I love bits! x
 
Didn't read the thread, computer being troublesome, so someone has probably already said that it is a Scorrier.

The Wilson has four rings, the inner two are floating, not fixed. Reins/cheeks can be attached to either pair depending on the strength and action you require.
