Teen Advice Giver	What is everyones favorite bit to use when using a German Martingale ? I'm ordering a martingale and have a simple 3 piece egg butt snaffle, but looking into other options to use with it. Looking to help soften the horse, flex, getting him bending more.

Regular Posts: 71	I always ride my german martingale with a twisted wire sliding gag bit I like one to really bend and flex so this really puts a foundation on one to ride that way

Elite Veteran Posts: 1035 Location: TN	I've used my german martingale with a twisted wire snaffle and a twisted wire dogbone short shank Sherry Cervi bit. I prefer the SC bit for my horse because he can be strong. I use it for every day riding and slow work. Definitely helps remind him to stay backed off the bit and breaking at the poll.
