We were discussing bits at a recent clinic and a NFR gal said " it's not the bit that the horse likes ..... its how your hands fit a bit". Meaning that the riders hands determine if a horse "likes "a bit or not. Made perfect sense. I have a handful of bits and I constanly go back to! apparently those bits just fit the way I ride.
That being said I prefer dog bone mouth pieces. The 3 piece break works better for me and my horses are very responsive to that mought piece with a light gag. I like the short shank cervi's and the dr bristols in the goosetree line!
Wow, that really puts things into perspective
THIS!! I have a bazillion bits in my trailer and literally use like 5. I think it depends on you and what fits your hands. Me for instance, I can't lope a circle in a sherry cervi?! I've ridden horses for people that THEY rode them in a cervi and I instantly swap them because I know they don't fit me. I have a medium shank lifter from L&W that I could make a donkey run the barrels in!!
