I love rotating bits. I like to get them really really broke in the snaffle, ie, smooth snaffle, gag snaffle, gag snaffle in draw reins, small twisted wire- a young horse will bridle up pretty nicely in a small twisted wire snaffle, in one hand if you get him really broke to the snaffle.
After they get pretty broke in the snaffle, moving to the shank snaffle they feel surprisingly broke, when they get good in that, if you've done your homework they will feel fabulous, (Humble - 3) in the correction bit- then if you use a correction to bump that nose or chin in, they take you very seriously.
I like to keep rotating bits draw reins etc and not keep them too long in any one shank bit if I can help it. Like to rotate around in the snaffles to keep them fresh.
