This is good to know.  I recently bought this bit and was surprised that my boy would kind of throw his head up around the barrel.  I really wanted this bit for him to run in to free him up.  We will have to  give it another try with bit guards.

I put bit guards on any bit that has a sliding mouth piece.

Yes, we use bit guards with any bit that slides.  I use Running Roan leather bit guards.

Any bit I have that has a little bit of gag slide gets bit guards put on. Always.

Bit guards are cheap insurance to keep my horse's mouths from getting accidentally pinched.
