Location: Somewhere around here		The current bit I ride my horse in is a "METALAB STAINLESS STEEL LIFESAVER SLIDING GAG BIT"
( https://www.horseloverz.com/product/gag/339281-metalabstainlesssteel... ) and he rides great in it!! The only problem I am having is lifting up his shoulders a little when we are going faster. When I am warming him up I am able to lope him in circles nice and soft with his head in and I am able to pick up his shoulders easily but it fades out when we go faster on the pattern. I was researching Carol Goostree's bit line and I was curious about her Twist Dogbone Simplicity Bit ( http://www.statelinetack.com/item/carol-goostree-twist-dogbone-simp... ). My horse seems to LOVE gag bits, the more gag the better. What are your reviews on this bit of hers and do you think it would be a good transition bit later down the road?

Location: Where the pavement ends and the West begins Utah		Don't depend on the bit alone use your legs to keep the hind end engage . Ride back to front.
