It depends on what you are doing with your Saddlebred. These are called "Gaited" horses and while showing there are certain types of bits used to obtain the look that the judges like to see. Most of these types of bits are usually "broken" or the mouthpiece is jointed or sometimes called a snaffle bit. Although this is not a hard and fast rule. But the shanks (the part of the bit the hangs down from the horse's mouth and the reins attatch to) are usually at leats 4 inches at least. If the horse is used for pleasure of trail riding his bit will depend on his level of training, the rider's skill, ect. Rule of thumb for bits is "use the least amount of bit you can for the most amount of control".
