I have one of my Standardbreds who was driven in this bit and he loves it and he is very picky with his bits I tried 4 other ones before this one

with her bit keep the mouth piece the same as the bit she likes, if it’s a single jointed keep it and keep the martieral the same, then change the side piece, if she likes a pelham try a hanging cheek snaffle as the snaffle rein of a pelham works like a hanging cheek ext, basically only change one part at a time rather than jumping straight to a loose ring for example!! 🥰🥰

i swear by this bit, it’s helped my pony who has been driven and was in a waterford ridden, ( she would twat off with me ) and with jumping she was awful but now she has a much better rhythm it’s by expert bits a much cheaper myler and you don’t have to size down x

She might prefer a bit with a stable mouthpiece for example a straight bar mouthpiece as it’s similar to what a driving bit has! If you’re wanting to downgrade to a softer bit such as a snaffle eventually you could try a d ring, full cheek or eggbutt with a straight bar mouthpiece. Them types of bits have a very stable mouthpiece as well as a stable cheek piece aswell which she may prefer 🙃

this is my Molly girl, she was driven from 2014-2017, I got her in 2024, when I got her she was strong as an ox 😭😂, I couldn't jump her (with any control) unless she was in a pelham and even then she was extremely strong, I found the rubber straight bar with the bumps she's so soft in (this could also be contributed by her having basically the whole winter off last year) she was very high strung when I first got her, not she's completely at home, living on a farm and mostly hacking

Have you tried a full cheek snaffle maybe with a copper roller as she still has the side pieces on the bit and also very good for steering bc I know some they don’t know how to not go in a straight line xx

I had one who was driven his whole life and at 18 we decided to try him ridden, he had to be kept with blinkers on and only liked a pelham, I would ride him with double reigns and just use to the top reign that kept him happy. obviously I wasnt going to try too hard to transition him as he was already 18 and set in his ways. possibly try her in a driving snaffle first and see if you can swap to a normal riding snaffle after x

I share a ride and drive but she was very driven and we found doing bending pole and and courses of poles got her bending and going less straight as she would if she was driving

Try a myler all my drivers will go in a myler to start with or a ported straight snaffle they usually always get driven in a bar bit

Don’t feel pressured to have a ‘snaffle mouthed ‘ horse instantly like lots of people do , abi and your comfort and safety is the most important if you have to potentially have a slightly stronger bit that’s okay 🫶🏻🫶🏻

I’d say leave her mouth alone until she is more settled and balanced in her ridden work and then play with the bits. You’ll be fine with a strong bit in soft hands whilst she is learning

Just use what she likes. Some horses just don't like snaffles.

My finance took on our mare to ride, said mare can step and pace for some reason so trying to get a canter was impossible for about a year and a half 😅

Hi so I own three Standardbreds and I know not every horse can be bitless but we managed to get her and she found it way better then the bits my other two can’t hahaha but one of mine really preferred that along side that with all of them we worked for ages in long reins and a lot of bending work on the floor to try get her out of being able to only go in a straight line cause we found she fell in a lot obviously because she is used to the straight lines and everything like that hahaha and we found that her issue about going into canter was that she didn’t have that muscle and it was just easier for her to go into a pace ( that very strange fast / canter ish trot ) but we found that doing everything in circles and it’s not a long term solution but we found using bungees and lunging aids when we was riding helped because it make her use her hind quarters instead of rushing off in the pacing trot but you will get there just be patient it’s long and tough but it is so worth it the photo at the bottom is my bitless girly and she can walk trot and canter now we even compete in dressage and also we jump so you will make it x

You probably have already but have you tried her in just a regular Mullen mouth or Ported mullen mouth? Similar mouthpiece without the not so nice mechanics. I know nothing about driven horses but my pony didn’t seem to like jointed bits even with a lozenge I think he prefers the solid mouthpiece

my trotter is the same with bits. every jointed bits or even mullen with no port, her tongue is going everywhere except under the bit... i have her in a mullen slightly ported danish guard. Im only just breaking her in under saddle rn, so maybe she'll relax come time😅 would love to transition her into a single jointed fullcheek or something but idk, or try a rubber one like the fager ones
