Bee is ridden in this bit >>> http://www.tds-saddlers.com/productdetails.asp?PCLinkID=1883
At the risk of sounding like a proper novice (my old pony was always ridden in a snaffle) - how does this bit work? How does the curb chain work? Does it work better tighter or looser? Is there a rule about it?
What about the mouth piece? Would that not encourage a horse to lean on it?
What about roundings? Bee has this bit but in roundings - I was always under the impression the intention is for double reins to allow you to control the pressure exerted by the curb and snaffle separately?
Thanks in advance - hope i don't sound like too much of a numpty!
