What's the name of the bit.....

[Ferdinase514]

That all the showing kiddies are using at the mo?

Snaffle type ring but cheek pieces and reins attach to a fixed ring with in it. Cheek pieces at top, reins at bottom. Some poll pressure me thinks....

Girl i take out to shows has a very strong little pony who might benefit from it.

Beval snaffle, loop ring snaffle...and it has another name which I can't think of right now

Actually if it has cheek pieces it isn't this bit.

Wilkie?

Got it...you're a star

 

[Emma123]

Wilki snaffle is the other name for it

This is what I thought you we're describing...?

 

[Elise]

Is this the sort of bit you mean?

I think some Myler bits are a bit like this too? (excuse the pun lol)

 

[Emma123]

Glad to be of help

 

[Ferdinase514]

My goodness guys, that was fast!!

Elise....your link doesn't work

Yep it is this one though. Might help her out a little...pony is 16.3hh in a 13hh body. She rides her very well, but she's a little tank in canter, in the show ring! Just to give her the air of having a semblence of control!

I think I was a bit slow anyway!! Yeah that was the bit I was thinking of and just for fun here's another:

Here is a Myler with hooks. Not the same look as the showing bits but I think it's the same principle.

What does she have him/her in at the moment?

I find this bit stronger than a half cheek snaffle, but not as strong as a 3 ring gag

 

[Ferdinase514]

Thanks Elise

At the mo normally she is in a 3 ring gag, but yesterday for show she was in a normal jointed snaffle. Was fun to watch

Bevals are different from Wilkie's! The one in the picture above is a beval, with all the rings on the inside of the cheek ring. A wilkie is slightly different, the ring you attach the cheek piece to is on top of the cheek ring, whilst the rein ring is inside the cheek ring. Just thought you should know so you don't ask for the wrong one by mistake, I'd imagine their actions are very similar with wilkie applying slightly more poll pressure.

I was just going to mention that, most people call them both Wilkie, where they are not. The wilkie has the top loop outside the bit ring, the beval or loop ring has both loops inside the bit ring - if that makes sense.
