Bits & Curbs

The Rickey Green bit collection was designed for team ropers to train, practice and compete. Rickey Green recommended a firm leather curb strap or flat chain with these bits to allow the horse to feel and work off the bit rather than react to the biting curb. This high-port Sharp Setter encourages rate quickly under speed. The port reaches the top of the mouth and signals flexion at the poll, bringing your horse into your hand. It's preferred on aggressive horses to maintain control.

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.

This final cheek in the Tool Box is designed for the finished performance horse or tough-mouthed older horses where more control is needed. It can be used as a schooling bit to get a horse that is not responding to milder bits to collect and break at the poll. It is also often used in competition, and should not be used for daily training. The purchase is 2-1/2-inch and the shank 5-1/2-inch. The Cavalry designed shank is angled back to the horse, but at a straighter angle than the 7-1/2-inch model, causing a quicker, more immediate response. The purchase/shank alignment ratio increases leverage, creating greater realized pressure to all points of contact. The 1-inch x 1-3/4-inch Correction is a step up in leverage and control. Applies increased pressure to all parts of the mouth and to the sides of the tongue. Not typically used in training, but often used to school horses that need a firmer reminder. Works well as a stopping or collection tool.
