My new driving Fjord, Milo, has been going nicely in a mullen flexible snaffle. Now, as we start to venture off farm, it's time to graduate to a proper driving bit. After going through vast numbers of riding bits for my other two Fjords before ending up with HS bits for them, I figured I would start with one nice bit for Milo's driving career to avoid spending tons of money searching for the right one. The bit I ordered arrived and I am hesitant to use it in case I have to return it. It is a Herm Sprenger aurigan 16mm arch mouth butterfly. It has an smooth side and a bumpy side. The bumpy side concerns me...I didn't see that in the catalog. Does anyone use this type of bit mouthpiece on their Fjords? I see a lot of Liverpool bits in Fjord driving photos. Is this a preferred shank over the butterfly? Any advice would be appreciated. BTW, the latest Herald is awesome! Plenty of good reading and photos of Fjord versatility.
