thanks :^)
Wow, now there is a bit that has a lot of leverage! When you judge the amount of leverage a bit has, the lever arm above the mouthpiece counts double to the shank below the mouthpiece. This bit has equal length above the axis (mouthpiece) as below, so it is a 2 to 1 ratio, putting lots of poll pressure on the horse.
My horse would freak.
I would say this is quite an extreme jump from D-ring with no leverage to a lots of leverage. Maybe try something in between? Do you know anybody who has a bit collection (like I do) that would be willing to "check one out" to you? In my area, I am the lending library of bits, as well as the bit guru. It's a good idea to try before you buy if you can, but I'd avoid something with this configuration of leverage.
edit--It's not the mouthpiece that worries me about this bit, it's the leverage. Since your boy is going in a D-ring, maybe look into one of these bits, a Waterford mouth with a D-ring or Full Cheek. http://www.bitofbritain.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=waterford&Search.x=12&Search.y=4 These bits have very fast action. When there is no pressure on the reins, the bit lays smoothly over the tongue. When you need to set them back, or bring them back, the bit has some muscle to it without being harsh. When you release after the correction, the horse gets an immediate reward/release. I keep going back to this bit from time to time in my training; it is good when my horses start to ignore me. Stateline tack also has these bits, a little cheaper. Sometimes it is called a "ball bit" because it looks like a bunch of balls strung together.
