Communication is a big part of our lifestyles and is the major part of our experiences with horses. The standard of communication between rider and pony establishes the quality of the ride.
I suspect every novice should start pony riding with a 'solid' bit with no leverage. The solid (aka pelum) bit is much more understanding and forgiving of the beginner rider compared with the snaffle bit. If misused by the beginner, the solid bit is less likely to confuse the pony. The snaffle is multi-dimensional and better utilised by experienced riders.
I have come across many brand spanking new students who become completely disoriented due to the volume of info given to them all at once. Ideally, you need to keep things simple with a newbie student regardless of if progress is slow. It is imperative that the student receives adequate information to help him make a stress-free relationship with his horse as quickly as possible.
When you employ a solid bit with no leverage or maybe even a bosal for that matter, you are left with a one hand riding opportunity, since it takes only one hand to operate these effectively; an ideal situation for a beginner.
