This message is from: Robin Churchill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> When Ooruk was first started he was in a french link snaffle but he could get very strong especially in the canter. He went for 6 months of training with the trainer I use in Ocala and she put him in a Myler comfort snaffle and he is still in it. I tried briefly to put him in a Sprenger RS dynamic but he leaned on it. He might be better now that he is a more trained horse but the comfort snaffle seems to work well for him so I have not changed it. He has been in it for about 4 years.

I've tried a Sprenger snaffle and she doesn't respond as well, especially when I ask for a turn. When her favorite thing was bolting at the canter (and doing 180s at the fence!) I went to a Myler correctional bit, which is a snaffle with movable (swivel) side pieces that works very well. I use a low port liverpool for driving with the reins on the snaffle ring or the first hook. She's much better now that she's given up the Mongolian pony mode and settled down. Good luck!
