Re: Re: Question on bit hangers

I should have added that quite often you have to completely change the way the bit hanger is set up. I have Morgans. The Arab size combos are too small and the horse size combos are too big. I don't cut anything off of the bit hanger, more like reverse the way it works. You have to play around with them to get them at the proper length. Mine have the bit hangers, which attach to the cheek piece.

 

Hope that explains it better - Jeanne

 

Jennifer,

 

I use either a hackamore or a Kimberwick bit with my combo headstall. Both work just fine with a little adjusting of the bit hangers.

Subject: RC: Question on bit hangers

Thanks for all the great recommendations on halter bridles everyone!

I have another question.  I see two types of removable bit hangers.  The
kind that attach on the side of the cheek pieces, and the kind that go
all the way up and around the horse's poll, more like a conventional
bridle would be.

I see all these halter bridles modeled with snaffle bits.  I ride in a
curb bit with about a 1" purchase above the bit and then, of course,
shanks below.  Do shanked bits work okay with bit hangers?  And would
one type work best over the other (over-the-poll type vs. cheek piece
hangers)?

Thanks!

Jennifer
