Hi Judi, if it helps, I'd like to comment on my experience with a dropped noseband. I had an old guy that seemed to like the snaffle, but disliked the noseband. I bought a bridle with a cavesson and tossed the dropped noseband in the tip. I took lessons on him and that improved our communication If you're thinking of changing any tack, make sure you have a few test rides in a safe place before you go out on the trail. As far as bits go, it's a matter of what your horse is comfortable with...if he's comfy or not...he'll let you know within the first few moments of having a bit in his mouth. I guess I must have about 15 bits hanging in my tack shed now. Thankfully the bit search isn't quite as expensive as the saddle search. Wanda -- Thoughts become things...
