    Hello, Throught my life, I saw people mainly using single jointed snaffles on their horses. Some of them used hollow bits, others solid bits. Recently (not that recently, but oh well), a huge debate between single joints vs double joints arised. The conclusion was pretty much always the same...

    Hey, I have tried some different bits on my horse: a french link snaffle, an eggbut Dr. Bristol, a waterford bit and a 3 ring Pessoa bit. I also tried a normal snaffle bit.

I can't seem to find any western bridles with a noseband that I really like. I also like the native american style. Does anyone know of any websites that...

    Before I say anything, I did read smrobs sticky on western bits. I just have some questions as I'm currently "hunting" for a new bit for my mare. I used to ride in this: After reading around the forums, I can see why it is a poorly designed bit. Now I've heard a lot about this bit around...
