Some riding bits unbalance a blinker bridle, an independant noseband can cure this, but check if the blinkers move when you use the bit. | ||

I drive 'just for fun' with an occasional local show 'just to be social'. therefore I do not have to conform to 'correct tradition' - I do what my horse is safe, happy and confident in. I ride and drive in a snaffle with no problems. My preference with this mare is a springer KK with the lozenge.  | ||

There is no rule to say anywhere that a driving horse/pony should be driven in a bit with driving in the bits name. What ever the animal is happy in will be fine.. If your horse is never had a bit in before you would usually use a mouthing straight bar bit with dangling keys in the centre then you can change to what ever bit you want. | ||
