What do people class a a bubble bit??

[highlandmad]

After being at a breed show today and doing a nursery novice class I knew it was going to be hard work with my 4yr old who does not like to go forward, the judge however spent her time afterwards to come and talk to me suggesting different things to help get her going, one being changing my bit to a bubble type bit??? does anyone have any idea which they are? or have any advice on one I can use.
I used to ride in just a plain snaffle but she grabs hold and becomes very heavy, same with a full cheek snaffle so ive been riding her in a peter wilkie.

any suggestions greatly received

not really going to be school her much now over winter as think she needs to grow up and mature and prob wont be hitting the show ring till shes 6 but still want to get her going forward more by doing lots of hacking

I always thought they were a Dutch gag 3 ringed gag. I could be wrong

If she grabs hold of a snaffle the judge maybe meant a Waterford which prevents them getting hold.

that's what a few of my friends have said, don't really wanna be putting a gag in. the judge seem to be talking more about the part that goes in the mouth. im confused now haha

o ye, ive got one of them that I used to use with my older one for leaning on me

A bubble bit is another name for a Waterford Bit, for heavey headed horses! You can have different sides on this bit ie. loosering, 3 ring, hanging cheek or gag!

I was always taught that a "bubble bit" was another name for the dutch Gag.
