Bits & Curbs

The O Ring Snaffle is a must for any horseman’s tool box. It is the most commonly used piece of equipment by trainers of all disciplines, for everything from starting colts to softening older performance horses. Use it to introduce a horse to a bit for the first time, teach a horse to follow his nose, lateral flexion exercises and drills, establish proper headset or soften older horses. The O Ring has a weighted feel for greater sensation during the pickup and release of pressure.

Top-selling transition bit for introducing indirect control of leverage from the shank and pressure from the curb chain. Works off tongue, lips and bar pressure. Adjust headstall up to touch or one wrinkle and loosen curb to 3-4 fingers to allow gag action to work properly. Sweet iron encourages salivation for a supple feeling mouth

More responsive than a twisted wire snaffle, this mouthpiece has more tongue contact and quicker pressure release than a traditional two-piece snaffle. Will keep a horse supple and light throughout his training. Stage A bits are great for starting horses, training, or maintaining steady contact. Handmade in Yoakum, Texas. Sweet iron is intended to rust and is sweet tasting to the horse to promote salivation, which makes a more supple feeling mouth. It may be used with or without a leather curb strap; we recommend using a leather curb strap for safety. Sharon Camarillo is a 4x National Finals Rodeo qualifier and Cowgirl Hall of Fame inductee.

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.
