"Purchased this bit recently because I wanted more half halt power and this bit received excellent reviews for just that. So stepped up from a plain D to this bit, kept soft hands but horse hated the bit. So unsuccessful for us & we went back to plain D. However, I did pass the bit on to another gal who also wanted a little more stopping power and it worked great! So at least it worked out for someone. Gave it 5 stars because nothing wrong with the bit, it's a popular bit, just didn't work out for my guy."

"I really like what this bit does for my warmblood gelding! He was getting really strong with a kimberwicke so we switched to this. He's lighter on the forehand now and much better at jumper turns! Great bit!"

"As another reviewer said, this bit has only shallow ridges. It does not have much 'bite' to it and isn't going to be enough bit for a horse that usually goes in a "corkscrew." However, I do find it a really nice in-between bit that gives you just a little bit more bite without being too harsh.
If you're looking for a LOT of "whoa" this isn't your best bit. But it is a good, gentle corkscrew."

"I needed a corkscrew for my hyper mare, so of course I went to my #1 site, Smartpak, ordered the bit, and was very excited! Got it home and... the excitment left. The bit was very good and sturdy, but not a true corkscrew, I found it to be more of a slow twist. It's more of a corkscrew, but the ridges are very shallow, thus I quess it's more of a in-between bit. No dout nice, but not really a true corkscrew. None the less, I returned this one and bought a new one"
