This bit's appealing in several ways. First off, it won't break the bank at right around $50. It's got copper inlay in the mouthpiece and it's little wide, so it doesn't have the pinching problem I've seen with a lot of loose rings; I still use bit guards just in case though. I ride just about every horse in this bit, and I love the feel. It's got heavier rings... although not the super heavy weighted kind. It's just heavy enough to give it a nice substantial feel that helps the horses pick it up and hold it, which gives you a connected feel even on a loose rein.
I have this bit and love it too! It's the bit I've done 95% of Chev's training in. Nice pick!
ReplyDeleteI have a whole collection of fancy snaffles in my tack room, but this is the one I want to ride everyone in. :)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds familiar! I am a tack addict and have everything from Bauchers, eggbutts, full cheeks, loose rings, tons of different mouth pieces with links, beans, etc etc etc--but I found I liked the simplicity of this snaffle, and it just feels good. I think the heavier rings help send a clear signal. I bet we'd agree on a lot of tack things!
