For many horses the best bit to use in the field is a plain snaffle, with very large rings, so that the bit cannot be pulled through the horse’s mouth. The bridle should have a cavesson, instead of the usual noseband.
Use cavesson when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
