. . . . MANY
BITS AND HACKAMORES.. they change them constantly..your horse is in different moods on different days.you work on different training disciplines on different days.. i sara shalda never
ride in the same bit more than 2-3 times in a row.. i alternate between
bits and hackmores constantly.i want my horse to
stay fresh light and interestedalways looking for that perfect feel.... .
  
WE CAN MAKE WHAT YOU NEED. many
options.
every horse responds differently to each bitto each hackamore... .
different days i ride my horses in different bits
i change from bits to hackamores and back again
depending on the lesson and the horses mood.. .

you must always keep them searching for an
interesting feel .

. THINGS TO REMEMBER ABOUT DRAFT horse BITS . .
1. MOST
DRAFT BITS ARE NOT MADE FOR RIDING .
THIS MEANS NEITHER THE DESIGNER NOR THE MANUFACTURER
PAYS MUCH ATTENTION TO IMPORTANT THINGS LIKE
BALANCE, PURITY OF METALS,
TIGHTNESS OF SEALS,
PINCH POINTS, STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY, APPLICABLE
USAGE,
TRAINING USEFULNESS
THEY USUALLY JUST MAKE THEM BIG AND STRONG
WHICH IS FINE FOR DRIVING
HORSES, NOT FOR RIDING HORSES.
IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A REALLY GOOD one that is.
IF YOU JUST WANT
A TRAIL PLODDER,
THEN DON'T WORRY TOO MUCHABOUT WHAT BIT YOU USE.
I
...AS A PROFESSIONAL HORSES TRAINER MUST PAY GREAT ATTENTION TO THESE THINGS:
I MUST
KEEP AN CLOSE EYE ON CONDITION OF MY EQUIPMENT
I MUST KEEP IT CLEAN. MY BITS MUST STAY OILED IF THEY HAVE ENCASED
PIECES. . .
2. STAINLESS IS ALWAYS
PREFERABLE
ITS EASIER TO MODIFY AND ALTER- WELD ETC.
ITS HEALTHIER FOR THE HORSES.
ITS EASIER TO CLEAN .
IT TASTES BETTER. IT LAST LONGER.
.
3. SWEET IRON PORTS
THAT ENCOURAGE SALVATION.... ARE
NOT BETTER THAN STAINLESS
IF YOU DON'T
BELIEVE ME... PUT one IN YOUR MOUTH.
NOW PRETEND THERE IS A RIDER ON YOUR BACK ASKING YOU TO CONCENTRATE
AND PERFORM HIGHLY DEMANDING MANEUVERS.
THE IRON TASTE bad.,,,,,, IT IS A DISTRACTION
ANYTHING THAT BOTHERS YOU IS A DISTRACTION.
FLIES. DUST, A BIT THAT MAKES YOU
DRUEL ALL OVER THE PLACE.
A RIDER THAT CAN'T MAKE UP HIS MIND WHAT HE WANTS
THIS WILL INHIBIT YOUR TRAINING
,
(WITH MOST HORSES, NOT ALL)
COPPER IS GOOD BUT HARDEST TO MODIFY-WELD-ETC.
.
4. BIGGER IS NOT BETTER
IF YOU WANT A HORSE WITH A LIGHT MOUTH,
ONE THAT IS VERY RESPONSIVE
TO LIGHT CONTACT , SMALLER & LIGHTER IS BETTER.
YOU WANT TO KEEP THE WEIGHT OF THE BIT AS LIGHT AS POSSIBLE,
KEEP THE PORT TINY AND LIGHT AS POSSIBLE.
MANY OF MY SNAFFLES ONLY HAVE A 1/16 OR 1/8
DIAMETER. .
5. ONE HORSE NEEDS DIFFERENT BITS FOR DIFFERENT REASONS
a HORSE'S TRAINING WILL CHANGE. ,,,,a HORSE'S MOOD WILL CHANGE.
AGE WILL CHANGE. ......EXPERIENCE
WILL CHANGE.
RIDER MAY CHANGE.. .
6. YOU DON'T NEED A BIT
HACKaMORES WORK JUST FINE...THEY CAN BE AS EFFECTIVE AS
ANY BIT .
THERE ARE TWO TYPES...MECHANICAL AND NON MECHANICAL.
.
7. ALWAYS MEASURE YOUR BIT FROM INSIDE DIAMETER
WHERE YOUR HORSES
LIPS WILL BE TOUCHING.
.
8. DON'T BE AFRAID TO TRY NEW BITS
BORROW
FROM FRIENDS IF YOU HAVE TO
AFTER YOU RIDE FOR A FEW MINUTES...Your HORSE WILL TELL YOU IF THEY LIKE THIS Bit . .
9. LISTEN TO YOUR
HORSE
they Will TELL YOU if A BIT IS BOTHERING THEM...IS PINCHING THEM
TASTES BAD...HITTING SENSITIVE TEETH...IF
THEY HAVE A TOOTH ABSCESS. . .
10 .
ALWAYS CHANGE THE BITS YOU USE
YOU NEVER WANT YOUR HORSE TO GET TOO USED TO ONE CERTAIN BIT.
MOST HORSE LIKE
A CHANGE...SOME DO NOT .
YOU MUST ALWAYS OFFER YOUR HORSE A CHOICE
BE ATTENTIVE TO WHAT THEY ARE
TRYING TO TELL YOU..
