Hello! I am transitioning my 3 yo from a snaffle to a shanked bit. Ridden western. She has been ridden in a french link O ring and a D ring level 2 myler. I have a tom thumb I was given, but I don't like single-jointed bits, so I don't really want to use it. Some bits I'm considering: Bit 1 Bit...

Is finally up! Hope y'all enjoy. Let me know what y'all think! https://youtu.be/vDnhyqCCOeI

i was having a discussion on bits with a friend of mine. she was talking about how she dosen't like curb chains. i was told that leverage bits without a curb chain (my trainer and i where refering to kimberwicks) offered leverage, but it was signifigantly decreased. and i was also wondering...

I got this bit when I inherited my Paso's and am in dire need of a new one BUT I have no idea what type of bit it is. Please help by checking out the attached photo. There's also a curb chain that's not attached in the picture.
