This link points to the exact bit I use on Cricket. C takes a 5" bit and I ordered the 5 1/8" and it's just a smidge too big for her.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08035597114351155375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8996505457028956833.post-77431692938825553802011-11-10T21:18:07.495-06:002011-11-10T21:18:07.495-06:00Tina - I guess you're right on the title. I&#...Tina - I guess you're right on the title. I've been doing some great things with C but just haven't been in the mood to write about them.<br /><br />First, I've tried several bits on Cricket. Some were good (KK Ultra Loose Ring, Myler Comfort snaffle) and some were okay (cradle bridle) and some we both downright hated (confidence snaffle). I was reading an article in <i>Horses for LIFE</i> and it was one person's opinion on the problem with loose ring snaffles. I kind of liked what the author said so I started looking into fixed ring bits. Cricket had done well with my KK so I decided on a Dynamic RS WH D-ring snaffle (not cheap). I liked the design and function of the bit. Not sure when exactly C started "self bridling" but I know I didn't work on it. She just started offering to take the bit and now she takes her time letting it go. I love how the bit works, I love how it fits and I love that it's a good FS and Finesse bit. C is taking the contact with a good strong feel. I am so unbelievable thrilled with this bit and it was worth every penny I paid for it.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08035597114351155375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8996505457028956833.post-84638636754002758532011-11-10T21:08:13.207-06:002011-11-10T21:08:13.207-06:00I love your title, because it's so wrong.

You give me hope! <br /><br />What bit did you switch to that's doing so well for you? Self-bridling is one of the things on my winter list!Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14393381752572491969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8996505457028956833.post-42796055197790204252011-11-10T12:19:32.322-06:002011-11-10T12:19:32.322-06:00Truly, we are having a blast!
