Try no bit, I started to use the Orbitless last year after owning my horse for 15 years and haven't noticed any difference apart from he is very relaxed schooling and hacking out.
So are the bits you're advising against like the Bombers Happy Tongue? Ice just got one today and am now wondering if I've done the wrong thing and should look at the Turtle Top or Tactio 🙄
Not at all - i just wanted to highlight to people the different options. The happy tongue is an amazing bit for tongue relief but some horses are more sensitive on the bars of the mouth which is mainly where the happy tongue uses pressure. We have hundreds of horses happy in happy tongues.
