Flexi Flavored
A FLAVORED bit? Anyone use these?
I've never really shopped for tack before. I've always used what we had. Snaffle and curb didnt mean anything to me until a year or so ago. I'm a dummy ![]()
Anyways, my new mare has a smaller head, and instead of constantly adjusting things, I would like to get her own headstall, a set of braided reins I LIKE, and maybe a new bit that's all hers (seriously..why would she want to use the same bit that gets drug in and out of everyone else's mouth? UGH!).
On eBay I just saw this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Korsteel-5-Flexi-Bit-Jointed-Loose-Ring-Flavor-Snaffle-/250756464585?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a623fffc9 It's FLAVORED. Any one use a flavored bit on their horse? Also..this may sound like a stupid question..but it seems like a more english type snaffle...could I use it with a western headstall?
I have never used a flavored bit; but when we teaching some of the race horses to take the bit (and our youngster that was started in a hack) we would take the bit and wrap a fruit roll up around it. They not only stopped trying to chomp on it but started liking it. I have used a copper mouth curb bit and that is a nice beginner bit with a curb chain. The only thing about using a snaffle in a western bridle is you don't always have alot of stop. (depending on your set up of a curb chain if one ) A western bit with shanks sits better and gives you more leverage in a western bridle. A snaffle sits better in an english bridle. They're made for each other but interchangable.You should pick a bit on your needs, how trained your horse is, what your doing, how much control, and how many signals you need to be able to deliever through it .
