Has anyone heard of, tried or seen one? I saw it advertised on www.thesaddleryshop.co.uk (not Danny's site, the other one!). It's a slim, bent mullen mouth sweet iron bit, but the attachments are different. It was hard to see from the pic, but it looks like there's a curb strap attached by hooks onto the bit rings, and when you ask for turn or yield it comes into play. Here's the link (I hope!) www.thesaddleryshop.co.uk/product_info.php/cPath/153_353/products_id/1576Apparently they are very good for pullers and hard mouthed animals. They cost about £44 but you can hire/buy and if it's not for you, return it and get your money back less £10 rental plus P&P. Just interested to see if anyone knew anything about them, or what you think of them.

I've not seen one of those before, to me it looks like the metal pieces that attach the curb strap might be uncomfortable if they lie behind the bit rings

That's what I thought too Zelda! They would dig in surely? Maybe that's what they mean by 'pressure on the lower jaw' - it's the hooks jabbing in!!

That certainly would be "pressure on the lower jaw"
