You must have had Bruce on your mind !! LOL
There are more bits now than I care to keep up with !! I am not a fan of snaffle bits at all !! I start and finish with a low port curb and have never had a problem with any horse !! But then again I train one to do the normal things needed on a farm and not what all the TV trainers do !! Most of what they do is simply for show !! Everyone watches the horses sidepass and yes,, its pretty to watch,, but I have yet to find a reason for my horses to run sideways !! And that nose to the ground really gets me PO`d !!
When you are taught by a bunch of old cutting horse trainers like I was,,these new guys just don`t impress me much !!
