"I ride and drive a pony which is very sensitive and likes to hide behind the bridle. I used to ride and drive with a KK Ultra, but I just wasn't happy with the contact feel. This is the first bit I've used that he's willing to stretch into and even lean on a little. It has made a huge difference as we work on collection and lengthenings."

"I have a couple of horses that fuss with the bit and bridling. Not only will they willingly put the bridle on, almost themselves now, their mouths are quiet and foamy! It is also working great for a horse that tends to such back from bit and who's mouth is generally dry in a KK ultra. Happy to have it in my bit box!"

"Bought this for my paint mare that has always had a problem opening her mouth, champing, etc despite multiple vet checks, different bits, and trainers assuring me it's not my hands. We ride trails, small jumps, and training dressage. I'm using it with a new Micklen bridle, and so far am seeing improvement. Too early to tell for sure, but her mouth is quieter, not rubbing her face on her leg at every chance. It's softer than a happy mouth. She seems to like it better than the "bean" snaffle and is moving into contact better. Tried the new bridle with the bean bit, then with this bit. She definitely prefers the Micklen bridle, and did seem to go even better when I changed to this bit. Still too early to tell if this is "the" answer, but I have seen good improvement so far."

"Great bit and really gets my off-the-track thoroughbred soft and supple. I had been using a French Link and he was ok, but he really loves the soft bit and I love the control I get with it."

"Have to return for different size. Looks like a great bit but ordered a 5" and inside ring to inside ring measures 4 1/2" and is too small. Bummed I have to pay shipping and I don't know what size to reorder since the sizing is strange. Also wish it came in an eggbutt."

"This bit is hands down the best bit to use when training youngsters as well as for light mouthed horses in general. I use it on my 17.2 hand hano/tb and he is perfect, we even will school intermediate fences in the nathe! The best part about smartpaks version of this nathe is that you cna buy in in a 5 3/4 which is great for the big horses and you can hardley find it anywhere else! Thansk smartpak for this amazing bit !!!"

"This bit really helped get my horse's confidence back after being "bit abused" by a trainer in Colorado. We're finally getting back on track after a year of horsey rehab."
