Hi Lynn >>>I have Peruvians and they are all finished in Peruvian bits, which I don't consider a particularly harsh bit at all. The finished horse works on a loose rein with its mouth closed and its poll flexed.
That is the way I have seen Peruvians ridden in bit is like with the spade bit - there is a slack in the rein, the horses are carrying themselves. The reins are used in the lightest way - quite different from what was shown in the photo that prompted the change. I don't really think it is often about any bit but rather how it is used. A snaffle can be incredibly severe depending on the type of snaffle and how it is used. Robyn Icelandic Horse Farm Robyn Hood & Phil Pretty Vernon BC Canada www.icefarm.com _____
