So which one would you reccomend?
I never recommend using a leverage bit with a broken mouthpiece, since it is unnecessarily harsh. With the Kimberwicke, there is no opportunity for the horse to avoid engagement of the leverage force, since advance signal requires longer shanks to carry the vibrations to the mouth before the rider engages the bit. Because of this, despite the very short shanks, this bit can be harsher than curbs with long shanks, given equally good hands on the riders. Also, snaffle bits with jointed mouthpieces are engaged using one rein at a time, which avoids creating a nutcracker effect. Curb bits are not used with independent rein signals, so the nutcracker effect occurs, along with leverage force.
There is no actual snaffle function with a Kimberwicke, since the mouthpiece is not centered with the dees. This means that the straight bar of each dee functions as a lever arm and purchase, applying leverage force to both the jaw and the poll respectively depending on where the reins are attached.
It has to be used with a curb chain regardless, or the bit will over-rotate and malfunction.
I recommend the solid ported mouthpiece on a Kimberwicke for these reasons.
