I get better movement & relaxation from the side-pull I use. They seem to stay in a more natural state when training. Also I don't have the problems like teething, floating problems or finding & fitting that perfect bit for each horse, as they all seem to like this same side-pull.
I use it to fully train my horses & if I need a little more quickness to my touch, I then use an O-ring snaffle for a little quicker communication for a faster response. But a great deal of preparation is done before using the snaffle, as their teeth have to be checked & in order, the right size bit (mouth-piece & O-ring size) has to be fitted properly & their mouth has to be conditioned to the bit before doing any kind of speed or fast work.
