Combination Bits with Optional Tie-Down
89-L31045 - Level 2
Lynn's Thoughts - This is great for light-faced horses that
are too flexible in the neck, but tight in the rib cage. It won’t
totally break loose the tightest rib, but if you’re patient and
take your time (and use your feet), it will hold the head in
the right position to affect the rib cage. This bit will work
with or without the optional tie down. Leave it on for horses
that need help finding balance in the bit.
89-L31315 - Level 1
Lynn's Thoughts - Works well on horses that resent
standard-type bits. They show their displeasure by shaking
their heads and refusing to relax. The way the pressure is
distributed over the face (the noseband being lower than the
curb strap), causes the horse to drop his head into the bit.
The mouthpiece lies softly across the tongue causing many
horses to relax and soften at the poll. The short shank is a
good choice if you have quick hands. This bit will work with
or without the optional tie down. Leave it on for horses that
need help finding balance in the bit.
89-L31435 - Level 2-3
Lynn's Thoughts - This bit will drop a horse over in the
poll, rounding the back to help engage the hind-quarters.
This bit is good for horses that are light in the bit but need
help collecting. However, it doesn’t offer enough control to
hold the front end up if the horse is determined to drop at
the barrel. Also, because of this bit’s action, riders who
over-pull the rein could possibly pull their horses down on
their front end. Will work with or without the optional tie
down. Leave it on for horses that need help finding balance
in the bit.
