sara..i need your help


hi sara 
We are just getting started with our first Clydesdale,,,, two year old.,,,,,,, I've always trained my own horses,,,,,,,,, but this is my first draft.,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I was looking at different bits ,,,,,,,,,and planned on starting her in a basic snaffle.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I really like my myler snaffle ,,,,,,,,but I don't think they come in draft, and I'm not sure if they can be....... modified. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,What would be your suggestion? .................I saw a butterfly bit which the leverage could increase as needed...........We will be teaching her to carriage drive and ride western............. In using regular saddles, do they sit on top .......and therefore not pinch if they are narrow in the gullet? .............We're having one custom built and I see that some draft saddles are selling as 9 inches in the gullet. .............I like the idea of a correction bit...................., too. so maybe go from some kind of basic snaffle to having a correction bit modified?.......thanks........ Tammy (and Annabelle).......... mooremuzik7@aol.com 

 
HI TAMMY ....THANKS FOR THE EMAIL......IM GUESSING YOU HAVE VISITED MY WEBSITE............IF NOT YOU FOR SURE NEED TO..............WOW YOU ASKED ALOT OF QUESTIONS,.... THATS REALLY GOOD...........I KNOW HOW EXCITED YOU MUST BE ......
