Questions for Dana.  
 
Therein lies one of my problems - wide welsh face, narrow muzzle, not much room 
to work with, so fit must be really good.  Hard to get a bit to fit!  Needed 
something that could have the tops bent out to accomodate his face - had to 
settle for a buxton so we could at least go down the road!  It is a bit 
overkill, and certainly not ideal, esp since the bit bar is not fixed.  I 
agree, bit guards would be cumbersome and detract from the picture.  Any 
suggestions?  Mouth is 4.5".  
 
Also, Dana, I sent you an e-mail asking about the ADS weekend at Fair Hill, we 
would like to attend, but would need more info.  Thanks!

I think there is a bit of difference in our choice of  driving animals, 
Kathy. . . 12.2 hand  ponies versus   16 hand Clevelands. I've found the 
smaller ponies really need things to be as still as possible for them to be 
steady. . . for example a double linked bit  gives too much information for 
one of mine, even as a single he is happier with some form of mullen mouth.
Butterfly mouthpieces can swivle out with out piching. Imagine a small pony 
with a rubber bit guard. . . it would look like a second set of blinkers !
