Thankyou Sandy , Diane and everyone for the info on kimberwickes. Now I have
some questions on snaffle bits. What is the diference between a slow twist
and a single twisted and double twisted wire snaffle....which is the most
severe? Is a twisted wire snaffle more severe than a kimberwicke? My trainer
had my horse in a double twisted wire snaffle for awhile because she said he
leaned on the bit and was on the forehand and wanted to back him off the
bit....whatever that means? He is in a kimberwicke now ( a small ported one
instead of a broken one as of today) . Should I have kept him in a twisted
one? He is hard to control at the start of a ride. Linda from Reno P.S.
My 3rd day on line I'm getting pretty good at this, now if I can do this
flashmail right .
