What bits?!

What bits do you guys and girls ride in?

I usta ride nothing but wonder bits (after training), usually start them in a tom thumb, but recently got a HECK of a deal on some Myler 'Comfort' bits...they come in levels 1 & 2...I've been riding my Classic Show gelding in nothing but the 2 and he likes it a lot, as do i...

so what is your horses bit of choice?

Almost exclusively in big, fat snaffles, most with "bullet" french links. I even show a stallion in one.

As far as severe, punishing bits to control "resistant" horses.....I had a german coach who summed it up as "violence begins where knowledge ends".

I often put kinder bits on students horses and watch as the resistance they have been showing fades, due to lessened pain.

I ride in a full cheek sweet iron snaffle

I have a couple of Myler bits, both are level 2 for my older horse. I started my young filly in a Myer comfort snaffle but plan on moving her up the levels as well.
This is one I have, Vida does well in it and it looks nice with a black headstall.
ETA_ our girls are RMH's

I only have a simple snaffle haha.

I ride in a plain snaffle, and I also have a tender touch bit! =)

I ride Phoebe in a loose ring french link snaffle and she loves it on Hunts and only ever on Hunts I use a three ring elevator french link bit

Plain ol snaffle

Loose ring French link snaffle I think it's called.

i ride in mostly simple loose ring or dring snaffles. but when i go hunting with my horse scout i use a loose ring with a chain mouth piece [like a curb chain. its a bit thicker than that, but it lays flat] people think its really harsh, but its not unless you pull really hard so its a great bit to hunt in
