I have always ridden my pony for the past 18-months in a happy mouth style jointed hanging cheek snaffle (http://www.frogpool.com/product-5542.htm) but have been thinking about showing classes etc and the possibility of a double bridle or maybe using a pelham instead with 2-reins.
* I currently have no problems with brakes or control
* She hates anything much stronger than what she currently has in
* Although she lowers, engages and works beautifully in a double/pelham style bridle (I believe)
So my question being a complete dunce when it comes to bitting is would something like a Happy mouth jointed pelham be a good idea for the show ring with her? And not be too harsh? (http://www.frogpool.com/product-5540.htm)
Honest advice please
