Bits & Curbs

The Greeley gag bit is 9 ¼” long which gives the rider leverage when needed. The limited travel of the cheek provides excellent shoulder lift as well as collection. This encourages the horse to stay on their hind end around the turn and to break at the poll. This is a great bit for a finished horse that needs to stay round and keep their shoulder up in the turn.

The unique design of this bit offers direct contact similar to a ring snaffle with the shoulder elevation of a gag and the collection from a curb strap. This is a great training or transition bit. The gag movement allows the horse to give at the poll before the curb comes into effect. 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 apply more pallet and bar pressure and is an excellent all purpose mouthpiece which will work well on most horses. Sweet iron keeps a horse's mouth moist.

When you need more gag so we opened up the stop. It gives some front-to-back control for rate, also with subtle, yet smooth connection for placement in the turns. Curb chain is included.

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 creates a sweet taste in the horses mouth and promotes salivation. In the Lifter bits there are two different shanks, each with four different mouthpieces. The medium measures 6" and the long measures 8". This gives the rider lots of different options to choose from. These bits are for all different types of horses, from the light horse that needs help on the back side or the hard runner that needs help shutting down for the turn. These bits are created to help you pick up your horses shoulder while going into turn and then helping them on the back side of the turn. The lifter also gives good elevation of your horses front end while engaging the hind quarter for the turn. If you are having trouble getting your horse to break at the poll and gather for the barrel this will help you accomplish that goal. Mouth: 5 1/2" Brittany Pozzi
