Location: Texas | I will post videos of him in his hack vs wonder bit
I sold the wonder bit thinking I was gonna keep him in the hack but the more I think about it I just think he runs harder in a bit. I think the wonder bit was good but not great, any similar bits I should try? He HATED the jr cowhorse I bought for him, does okay in everything else. He likes some gag but the simplicity bit was too much gag not enough woah for him. I have been thinking about trying a sweet six. His wonder bit was a twisted wire mouthpiece. I know general info on most bits just haven't ridden in very many so not sure what to try
Hack:

| A sweet six you have no shank as compared to the wonder bit, so I would say it probably won't do what you want.
A Dave Elliott sue smith spur up bit may be what you are looking for. They are expensive and it takes awhile for him to build them.
The thing I love about Dave is he will talk to you and help you find a bit to suit your horse and your hands |

I've put out a fb search for one of these, hopefully I can find one! I've ridden in another one of his bots and really liked it! Any opinions on a combo bit? What does the noseband do when they have a bit in there mouth? This is something I've never tried on my horse before |

Jana Perry on facebook actually is the only US dealer for Dave, she currenlty has a spur up 02 with a simple two piece snaffle for sale, its like $156 shipped... msg her, also the orders she is placing with him on a weekly bases are coming back fast. I ordered one with her 1-2 weeks ago and they will be arriving end of this week. So get in with Jana if you can! You can also talk to Jana about the combo, etc... she has a lot of knowledge! I personally just ordered by 8th DE bit, LOL  |
