[QUOTE="Alan, post: 251736, member: 378"] Yes you have a "O" ring snaffle bit. MS pretty well covered the "O" part. If your pic of the bit is fairly accurate then you have a pretty busy bit. I say busy because of not knowing a better word. Looks like the bit has twists in it, plus it's a three piece, meaning, the two twisted parts on the outside and a link in the middle. If so that's alot of stuff going on inside the horses mouth, every little movment is going to cause lots of movement in every direction inside your horses mouth. I ride in a snaffle and use a 5 1/2 in "D" ring with a small (small in diameter) snaffle. No thrills, the snaffle is just connected in one spot in the middle. LIke the top bit shown. [url=http://www.kyhorse.com/store/tack/bits/dbits/]http://www.kyhorse.com/store/tack/bits/dbits/[/url] 5 1/2 is the width of the mouth, make sure it's not too tight so it pinches the side of his mouth, or too loose so it slides from side to side. But with your bit having two pivot points and twist, it may to busy for your horse. Alan [/QUOTE]
