Myler loose ring comfort snaffle! (which is not a snaffle at all)

Room for tongue, no nutcracker action, little movement, forms to mouth, enough movement to get finesse

I just picked up the bit for Buttercup, but haven't ridden her in it yet since she is sooooo freaking happy with the mullen mouth. But it is my graduation bit when she needs some more finesse. Right now, she's perfectly rudimentary, so no need to change her up right now.

At first, I thought it would not have enough movement when I looked at it online, and then when I held it in my hand at the store, I thought perhaps it would have too much movement.

But I bought it anyway, and when I bitted Buttercup up, I noticed the bit immediately conformed to her mouth, didn't inhibit her tongue and didn't create a "fuss" in her mouth.

If you get a chance, try one. They're expensive, but they got me sold They also have the same bit some with low ports and high ports to give even more tongue relief.

The bit does not really collapse on itself at all, but you can create action on the bars nonetheless because it does round around itself, if that makes sense.
