Would a bit make such a difference

immediately?
I splashed out on a KK ultra Hanging cheek got it today so tried it on mare.
Maybe seeing things but even standing in it she seemed more relaxed around her mouth,just stood rather than the pacing to and fro.Also trotted a lot longer on her than usual as we land up in a bit of a rushed heavy hollow mess as mouth never 'felt right' before.It just feels different now.
Was in a myler with curb before as myler on its own had no brakes ,at least curb gave me brakes .
Well long may it last anyway.Am so happy I bought it but not telling OH how much!He'd have kittens being a stereotypical scotsman!!

In a word - although of course this forum won't let me -YES.
It's like you changing from an uncomfortable pair of shoes to a comfy pair. You feel the difference immediately. I tied a few bits form a bit bank before I settled on my PeeWee and I knew that she was not comfortable in any of the others. She came in a hanging cheek and shook/tossed her head rather a lot in that.

I agree with the above post... however you'll know how much of an impact it has made in a month or so when the horse has settled into it a bit more!

That s true usually she takes about 2 weeks to suss a bit then its back to the leaning..Am hoping as this one feels totally different-not so dead in the mouth if that makes sense.
