Re: [RC] J.Thom - BIT question - Karen SullivanI have one of these, and also a great Myler Kimberwick which the horses seem to like I also had a mare that really disliked jointed snaffles and goes quietly in the Kimberwick... Just make sure Kimberwick is NOT jointed! Karen ----- Original Message ----- From: "A.

The curb chain can be used for some extra 'oomph' if needed or left off if not needed. I like it because my TWH (who actually has a very soft mouth) plays incessantly with jointed bit, trying to bite the rings, whereas he's much quieter in the mouth with a solid-mouthed bit. ________________________________________________ Get your own "800" number Voicemail, fax, email, and a lot more http://www.ureach.com/reg/tag =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
