I wonder if someone could help me name this bit.
I've just started riding in Spain and apart from a solitary eggbutt snaffle, most of them look like this one in the top middle, except the port/bridge part in the middle is higher on some of them.
I've only ever used snaffles in England and i'm concerned that I may inadvertedly hurt the horses mouth with this, so I'm trying to make an effort to be even gentler with my hands than I normally would. I know bits are only as rough as the hands/Some horses like/work better in different bits etc.
But more information about it'd be much appreciated. My Spanish isn't really accomplished enough to ask the YO too much
PS - Sorry the pic is so big!
