All our stallions are ridden in a snaffle in show ring and on the trail…. I agree wholeheartedly – it’s the training not the bit.

I will have to give this good advise some thought.

Personally I think one should use the mildest bit necessary for control over one’s horse.

We ride our horses bitless (They are older). There is a chain you can buy and put over the nose for emergencies and correction. I rarely use it for correction and have been fortunate to not have an emergency to date.

I like the snaffle and use the mildest for both of my horses, I works well with the 1 rein stop and it does’nt hurt or scare them if they spook and lunge agianst the bit.

I love snaffles! If your mare responds well in it, I say leave her in it.
