Which bit for a tiny mouth ( also in SY)

[crystalrocks]

Hi, we have recently bought a 6 year old connemara x thoroughbred. She is really good in lots of ways but is very fussy with her mouth, now I know it is good for ponies to mouth their bits but she is almost preoccupied with her bit and seems to be struggling, she is ridden in a loose ring snaffle with a cavesson noseband, i think the snaffle is rather thick. Today we had her looked at by an equine dentist and he said her mouth is seriously very tiny, he was not sure which bit to recommend as obviously a thinner bit tends to be more severe and she doesn't need a severe bit. She is ridden by my 12 year old daughter. Any advice would be welcomed

my boy is serisoly fussy have bin through loasd of bits luckaly i know people so havent bought loads i found he really likes the kk
seams to settal in it really nicely most of the time although a fair price well worth trying.

If her mouth is shallow then a bit with two joints may be more comfortable.

If you stick to a snaffle could you go a little thinner than her current bit . Especially if your daughter has good hands and the pony is not strong

I had this problem with daughters Connie. She has a very low palate so not alot of room for a bit. She is ridden in a Baucher (hanging cheek) with a french link
