If you are studying Level 2 and no longer have daily control issues, you are ready to go to the Cradle, so you can begin working on more precision. For best results you should complete a Horsenality Profile to know which Cradle to choose.
If you have a Right Brain Extrovert that has moderate to extreme tendencies when you ride them, the C1 will be the best. They will enjoy the support the tongue contact gives them.
Too much tongue release on this kind of horse makes them unsteady and they have a tendency to raise their heads more. The tongue support is more comforting for them, whereas tongue release tends to make them feel 'lost'.
The Cradle Bit C1 is also good for a young horse's first bitting experience.
