I have just been looking at this bit. I may try on on my lad when/if he recovers from his injury. He hates most bits and will try every trick in the book to avoid working in one correctly, before got him was regularly ridden in a hackamore, so it may suit him. My only question is, do you think you could get away with one in the show ring?? |

I started to use it a couple of years ago for my gelding who could fairly take a hold on competitive rides. It seems to suit Arabs, who tend to have thick tongues and low palates so find a jointed bit uncomfortable - mine would throw his head around if I picked up a contact. He's much steadier in the PeeWee and I have brakes when needed. |

We used it for a young TBx gelding who was very strong when hacking out - it worked well on him but we had to change it to a french link loose ring bit when it came to jumping as we found that the Pee Wee bit was too effective and he didnt want to pull forwards towards the jump |

I find it works with horses who easily accept a hackamore or bosal. If they don't like them, then they don't tend to like the peewee.
You can always just try it once. If it's not right for you then it's no big deal and you can look for something else. |

Hi, I used the Pee Wee bit on Chino my 14hh Part Arab. When I got him he had hardly been handled never mind seeing a saddle or bridle and he was 12 years.
I decided to see if we could break him to ride and he has been an absolute darling. The only problem I had was when he had a bit in he would do everything to get away from it. Teeth etc were fine, he just didn't like the feel of the bit.
Heard about the Pee Wee and decided it was worth a go. It was the making of him, straight away he accepted it and is now hacking out and walk trot and canter with out so much as throwing his head. So it has definitely worked for Chino.[/font=Courier New][/red] |

I tried it with Hebe, but found out he didn't like straight bar bits... He is now happy in a Myler bit.
Saying that, I like the look and feel of the Peewee.

Am I right in thinking Pee wee bits are the ones with the dangly keys? If so then a couple of friends of mine use them when breaking sometimes. They use them to get the horses to mouth the bit. Dont think they use them for very long tho. The horses are quickly moved onto a normal eggbutt once they are backed. |
