Bit challenge!

[Roofio]

I would like a fulmer snaffle that's sweet iron ideally, or at least something that encourages salivation and is a french link or lozenge or similar...

But i can't find one anywhere :rolleyes:

i can find bits that are labelled 'fulmer' but are eggbutt rather than loose ring.

Failing that, something that has full or at least half cheeks, is loose ring, sweet iron and double jointed!

any ideas? :cool:

I have a Cottage Craft full cheek French link in a yellow sweet metal (pretend Aurigan I think!) but it's not loose ring, don't think I've ever seen a full cheek that's loose ring apart from a Fulmar, and like you I've not seen one of them in French link. The bit I've got is spare at the moment because Mrs P has decided that she prefers her 'revolver' bit so you can give it a try if you want, it's a 6 inch with a lozenge in the middle & might be suitable for giant ponios :)

i bought a full cheek off of eventerbabe and it has a copper roller in the middle - my mare really likes it...

[Showjumper]

A Myler?

[NoviceNic]

Myler do a Comfort Snaffle Loose Ring with a sweet iron lozenge. They may have a bit which also has the cheeks too....:)

[Roofio]

thanks guys :)

seems like i'm going to have to choose between having loose ring, or a 'nicer' metal for HRH's gob :rolleyes:

or stick with my sweet iron loose ring french link! and hope he starts to listen to steering a bit more once we get going better.

hmm!

[Sticky's GF]

am sure neue schule do one....or sprenger if u are feeling flush!!

[Roofio]

even i can't justify that much on a bit :D thanks though - maybe when we win the lottery!

he'll have to cope with bog-standard metal - we need the loose rings to stop him expecting me to carry his head about :rolleyes:

[Sticky's GF]

I have a standard metal french link loose ring with full cheeks in a 5.5 inch if you are interested in purchasing?? Just bought a new bit (sprenger :eek:) and need to do some serious ebaying before credit card bill comes in :o

[Roofio]

thanks for the offer but he has a big gob (like his mother! ;)) and needs a 6"!

:D
