At home I use a Billy Allen with Dee rings but since Misty is over 5 years old we try to use a billy allen with shanks

I use a high port correction bit for showing. At home we school in a grazing bit or a snaffle.

Thank you! Finally someone else who schools in one bit but shows in another! I show Lucky in the bits I posted, and school in a snaffle!
My dad says I'm weird for that.

I do the same, I never use my show bit because I don't want her to get hard to it.

I also agree with painthorses, those bits offer no give..I just dont like them. Doesnt mean they dont work for others though

The good thing is that spring loaded bits are not illegal for AQHA, Pinto, or Open Shows. I think that someone got upset at an exhibitor at APHA and made is politically illegal..LOL
