This bit gives you more flex and bend than the original lifter. I love the short shank for starting colts and the long shank for running the more solid horse. This mouthpiece offers similar benefits of the twisted wire snaffle with added flex and bend.

Upon learning to ride correctly in a snaffle bit, the Reinsman Stoney Crescent Moon is the best bit on the market for a two—or three-year-old horse in training that is ready to step up. The shape of the shanks and the small gag work together to provide a seamless transition for a young horse just beginning to adjust to the feel of leverage in the training process. The 436 smooth mouthpiece is perfect for a light horse or horse with a sensitive mouth.

The 7 Shank has quite a bit of weight behind the mouthpiece, which allows a quick release from the rider’s hands.  This is an excellent transition bit out of an O-ring or D-ring.  The square port is more aggressive than the traditional rounded port because you are working off the corners of the mouth.  The twisted bar pieces are more aggressive.   Mouth: 5 1/8" Cheek: 6 1/2" Port: 1 1/2"

A necessity in any horseman’s toolbox, the D Ring Snaffle has a nice weight, balance, and feel. Its slightly heavier design not only makes it durable, but it takes a deliberate action to cue the horse. When released, the bit returns quickly to a resting state, providing release of pressure and adding consistency to your hands.

The 7-1/2-inch cheek style is next in the lineup. Extremely versatile, this bit can be used for training drills, pleasure riding, or competition. This cheek has a 2-1/2-inch purchase with a 5-inch shank. The shank is swept back, like the 6-inch model, but to a lesser degree, which offers more leverage and control. When properly adjusted, it is still considered a mild cheek, but one with plenty of leverage for control at increased speeds. The Chain has a stainless steel cheek with an inlaid copper chain mouthpiece. Good tool for reiterating bend and flex. Mild and pinch less sweet iron mouthpiece is comfortable, and applies even pressure to the corners of the mouth and tongue.

The Goosetree Hackamore is an extremely versatile piece of equipment. It is designed with a chain nosepiece covered in a super-soft polyurethane coating, making it very flexible. Because it is so flexible, riders don't hit that dead spot commonly felt in other hackamores. It offers plenty of whoa when needed and can be placed higher on a horses nose or lower, depending on the horses level of sensitivity.

Gag length is variable by adjusting the headstall length, from 0-inch - 3-inch. Two rein rings allow for either 6-inch or 7-1/2-inch shank length. The Quick Draw is excellent for collection at speed and teaching vertical flexion at many different levels.

The Pickup Bit is available in both long and short shank versions and is Carol’s next step up in control. Works well for obtaining shoulder control on seasoned horses that need help keeping their shoulder lifted going into the turns. Offers increased shoulder control and rate when needed. Horses that are harder mouthed usually respond well to the Pickup bit when lighter gag bits are not enough. Available in short and long shanks.

The Double Gag is intended for a rider to use on a light-mouthed horse that may need more direction and lift in competition runs as speed increases. The slight gag action gives the horse a chance to prepare for full contact before the rider actually engages the bit 100%. This bit is comfortable, safe and provides a tremendous amount of feel for the rider without being too harsh. Each bit in the Double Gag line can be flipped depending on desired leverage, essentially making it two bits in one. Available in short and long shanks.
