I'm an eventer and I ride an extremely downhill Quarter Horse. He's great, but I sometimes have trouble getting him off of his forehand to jump. I tried riding in a normal elevator, but he grabbed at that. I had previously ridden him in a waterford and thought if I could find a waterford elevator it would be the perfect bit for me. I asked around at local tack shops and sales and was told that no such bit existed. Then I found this! It works perfectly for my horse and me! Thank you Pessoa!
