| I'm looking for a stepup bit from my smooth snaffle. My mare is only four and very sensitive so I'm not stepping up because she is not listening. I just want something with a little more lift and some breaks in the mouthpiece. I was thinking something like a junior cowhorse or something with a longer gag and short shank. |

I will second the KK Ticket bit. It is great for this. Leather or flat curb chain is my go to after having a snaffle on |
