every horse has different likes and dislikes....mine for example has a large tongue and therefore is most happy in a ported bit that gives him tongue relief...he's also incredibly strong and known to run off so he goes in a pelham...while his bridle may look 'harsh' to some, I have tried him in probably 30 different mouthpieces and the ported pelham from Myler is his favorite.
