Bits & Curbs

This shank is designed for the stronger horse who still needs the flexibility of the gag cheek. The longer shank and gag action provides more poll pressure whichencourages greater flexion and gives you more control.The three piece smooth dog-bone with a copper roller mouthpiece is comfortable as it lies across the tongue. The smooth bars offer a softer feel. Copper roller provides entertainment for a busy horse and promotes salivation.Mouth: 5 3/4" Cheek: 6 1/2"

This is a good bit for the young horse who is ready to be transitioned from a snaffle to a shank bit. The short gag action allows the rider to pick up a horse when needed, allowing for greater control.Mouth: 5 3/4" Cheek: 5 1/2" Port: 1 1/2"

This shank will give more leverage while maintaining a soft feel. A step up from the short shank allowing the rider to move forward to the next level of training. All of these bits should be adjusted to fit with one wrinkle in the horse's mouth and a loose curb strap to allow 2-3 fingers. This mouthpiece will provide the horse with some tongue relief and the chain is light on the bars. Effective in lifting the head and shoulders, the chain allows for independent rein action while the port encourages collection.NOTE: This bit will rust when exposed to moisture. This creates a sweet taste in the horses mouth and promotes salivation.

This 7 ½” double gag is a great competition bit and the perfect step up from an o-ring snaffle. The straight gag allows for a fluid lift in the shoulder, but also provides a faster reaction than other gags.

This is my favorite bit in my collection. I have ridden two different horses to world titles using this hackamore. "The hackamore is great for a horse that just needs some guiding around the turn or one that does not like a bit in its mouth. The side pull action on the shank makes it easy for your horse to work without getting in its way and gives you a small amount of lift. The rubber covered metal nose piece gives it great balance on the horses nose and more control for those long runs to the barrel. Brittany Pozzi

"The O-ring is a great bit to start colts in and show them the basics of barrel racing. The twisted wire gives you good control and makes it easier to direct a young horse. The large connection in the center of the snaffle keeps the bit from locking up keeping the horse comfortable. The weight of the rings also makes the bit very balanced. This is a nice bit to ride from breaking horses to competing in the arena; this bit is a must in every horseman’s tack room."  - Brittany Pozzi

The combination is a great transition from the o-ring. The combo uses the rope nose and gag to simultaneously ask the horse to break at the pole and give you more leverage. I like this bit for training, tuning, and competing. Mouth: 5 1/2" Rings: 3" Brittany Pozzi "I love this medium twist and ride it on just about everything. It is a great size; not too harsh, but just enough bite if you need it. Brittany PozziNOTE: This bit will rust when exposed to moisture.

This is a thin smooth snaffle so you will not sore the corners of your horses mouth up, and you will not get that dull feel that you sometimes get with a bigger mouthpiece. Brittany Pozzi
