Hi Brigid, Since Tommes goes so well in your snaffle mouth Liverpool, you might think of trying one of the Myler bits with a western shank. The Myler bits are jointed with a swivel action, not a "broken" or nutcracker action like a snaffle, so the theory is you get the direct rein communication that you obtain by having a jointed mouthpiece. One problem, however, is that you will probably have to custom order the mouthpiece size you'll need. Most Fjords I've worked with need a 6" mouthpiece. Most "off the rack" bits come no larger than 5 1/2 inches. There are other brands that have copied the swivel action of the Myler bits. I don't know their names, but they're out there. Just be careful of the quality. Beth -- Beth Beymer & Sandy North Starfire Farm, Berthoud CO http://www.starfirefarm.com
