Do you mean wilkie?
I used one on my old pony for a short time that used to like sticking his head between his knees and then letting out a series of bucks. It has some poll action (which is why it is not BD legal) so aids with leverage. We were advised to use it by a PC mum who was into showing (they are very popular in the show ring). It did work for my pony and we didn't need to use it for long time before swapping back to his normal snaffle.
