Hi everyone! I have just ordered a Hanging cheek snaffle bit for my WB mare. When I bought her over a year ago she was being ridden in an Eggbutt snaffle. I tried this for a bit but it didn't feel right so changed to a loose ring, French link snaffle. I have used this for quite some time now but she doesn't accept the contact (ie you have to play tug-o-war) readily. I wanted to try something slightly stronger without going outside of the realms of dressage legal so have gone with the Hanging cheek snaffle. It should come by the weekend but wondered if anyone has an opinion on this? A very experienced jumper had a go on my mare this last weekend when I chickened out from jumping her (she has a huge, climbing the Eiffel tower, jump). When she had jumped my mare very successfully, kudos to her, and got back on her horse who is also a WB 16.2hh mare she said it felt like she was riding a pony in comparison (this gives you a picture of what my mare is like)
