Offset D Ring Snaffle Bit #19
$150.00Description: The D rings on this Offset D Ring Snaffle Bit are made of 1/4 inch steel and are 2 1/4 inches in diameter. Mouthpiece #9 is 3/8 inch in diameter and 5 1/8th inches wide with inlaid copper bars to promote salivation. Mouthpiece #42 is 3/16 inch in diameter and 5 /8 inches wide with a gentle twist.
How it works: Because the D rings on this snaffle don’t slide and the area of contact on the mouth is wider than on a ring snaffle this bit gives a stronger, quicker signal than a ring snaffle. The contact on the face from the Ds also helps the horse bring the opposite side of his face through a turn. This is a great bit to ride your colts in.
Although you should always check with show management, this snaffle with mouthpiece #9 is legal in AQHA & NRCHA snaffle bit classes.

Double Buckle Curb Strap with Rawhide Ball #CU42
$72.00Description: This eye-catching Double Buckle Curb Strap with Rawhide Ball #CU42 is made of single ply 5/8 inch harness leather that is hand-edged, hand-rubbed, treated with Neatsfoot Oil and hand-rubbed again. Beautiful hand braided rawhide keepers and a ball knot are added to complete the look. The buckles are stainless steel. The leather beneath the buckles is hand sewn together to prevent the buckles from slipping during adjustments.
How it works: The rawhide ball gives a quicker signal than a flat leather curb as it comes in contact with the chin before the leather. The braided rawhide also gives a stronger signal than plain leather because of it’s texture. This curb may be really helpful on a horse that isn’t responding to the pull on the reins as well as it should. The rawhide ball will release very quickly once the tension on the reins is released allowing a reward for the desired response immediately..

Eggbutt Snaffle Bit #18
Original price was: $150.00.$102.00Current price is: $102.00.Description: The Eggbutt Snaffle Bit #18 is made of Stainless Steel. The mouthpiece is 5 1/8 inches wide, slightly bowed and has inlaid copper strips to increase salivation. It is 3/8th inch in diameter at the corners of the mouth and gradually tapers to 1/4 inch in the center.
How it works: When each rein is pulled the eggbutt snaffle bit will give a clearer signal than a ring snaffle because there is a larger area of contact on the corner of the mouth and contact on the opposite side of the face. This helps the colt to bring his whole face through the turn rather than just his nose. This bit is NRCHA & AQHA legal.
This is my favorite snaffle and I use it on almost all my young horses. Dennis
Shown on the horse in addition to the Eggbutt Snaffle is the #HS34 Doubled and Stitched Browband Headstall, the #CU31 Single Buckle Leather Curb and the #BLL2 Latigo on Latigo 5/8″ Heavy Reins.
