Which Neue Schule bit?

[bubbledreamer]

Hello,
This bit would be for a pony who dosent like alot of contact and i want to get Him a nicer bit. Hes in a normal eggbutt snaffle but i think he would be better in a Neue Schule bit. However i dont know which one. He has rather thick tounge. Im thinking 8006 NS Thin Mouth Trainer Snaffle 16mm diameter 70mm Rings.
or
8019 NS Schulung Lozenge Snaffle 16mm diameter 70mm rings
or
8019 NS Schulung Lozenge Snaffle 16mm diameter 70mm rings
or finaly 8007 NS Trainer Eggbutt 2 1/2" Rings 16mm diameter

Basically the thinner the mouth piece the more severe the contact. Same goes for bit ring size. The smaller the loose ring the greater the contact. So in a nut shell a bit with a thin mouthpiece and small rings is harsher then a thick mouth piece and large rings, but there is always the exception!

If you phone Neue Schule the ladies there are very knowledgeale about their bits and give great advice.

A thin mouth piece is kindest for horses with thick tongues and fleshy mouths as they take up less space. Thicker ones are uncomfortable for this mouth conformation.
