The combination is a great transition from the o-ring. The combo uses the rope nose and gag to simultaneously ask the horse to break at the pole and give you more leverage. I like this bit for training, tuning, and competing.

This is a thin smooth snaffle so you will not sore the corners of your horse’s mouth up, and you will not get that dull feel that you sometimes get with a bigger mouthpiece –Brittany Pozzi.
