That makes sense about some horses having to small of a mouth for the
fat bits.  I had to buy a shorter snaffle for Diva.  Her mouth is only
5".  I found a 3 piece, full cheek with a copper roller that is only
slightly thinner than my fat snaffles.  I really don't like a full cheek
but Imbri liked to play with it.
