The Laramie has a swept back cheek and a tear drop loop at the rein, which provides a very forgiving and slower pull. The shank’s features give a pre-signal for the horse when they feel the rein slide. This keeps the rider from having to engage as directly. The smooth two-piece conforms nicely in the horse’s mouth and encourages flex and bend.

This 7 Shank is 6 ½” long and 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 5 1/8” two-piece snaffle allows for collection, flexion, and bend.

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 CG bit is one of the first bits Carol Goosetree designed. She developed this bit especially for her champion mount -inch Dobre-inch, in the late seventies. The chain snaffle mouthpiece and short gag action makes this bit soft and forgiving in a horse's mouth. Horses tend to feel comfortable in this bit and show a lot of response without overreacting. It helps add control in the turns, and support and correct an overly bendy horse. The CGs weighted shanks add more feel and help encourage a proper headset.

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. The 5 1/8” two-piece smooth snaffle is on the thinner side. This encourages respect without the aggressiveness of a twisted wire.

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.

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.
