Elite Veteran Posts: 716 Location: who knows?	Mine seems to prefer the larger port as well, do you know how the response is different with the chain/port vs twisted/port?

Money Eating Baggage Owner Posts: 9586 Location: Phoenix	The chain keeps them more bendy, the other seems to stiffen them a bit. I have a L&W lifter that has a twisted wire + port and it never seems to lay right.

Money Eating Baggage Owner Posts: 9586 Location: Phoenix	If you could get them to put a chain instead of the twisted wire I would go that route. I was thinking of calling to see if they could do it.

I have a gelding that will ride in just about anything as long as it has a dogbone mouthpiece. Anything else he turns into a stiff nut that sucks to ride.
