SPECIAL! New Metalab Billey Allen Show Bit - 2 available
Great all around bit. 

Still in packaging.
Pretty for all occasions!

Some Uses and Benefits: 

 Rider:

• Good for 1 handed work. And quiet 2 handed work. It's an easy bit to adjust too for most riders.
• Good 1st curb bit for horse and/or rider.
• The mouthpiece will help with horse to carry the bit nicely and be mild to learn how a curb bit works.  Why not have a bit that helps you help a horse to learn easier!
• The short shank allows the rider to soften their hands (not needing to pull so hard like in a snaffle - no shanks).

 Horse: 

• Very forgiving bit suitable for a lot of horses.
• The curb action (with a curb chain) will use leverage and therefore will ask for more attention from the horse while keeping your hands soft.
• The mouthpiece gives room for the tongue. It will not interfere with horse when there is slack in the reins. Horse is more comfortable. Able to swallow easily.
• When on contact, there is no nutcracker effect as in a jointed mouthpiece.  Keeps the horse calmer!

Not Suitable for:

  Rider:

•  Is not forgiving with really rough or quick hands. Anyone not in an extreme sport and/or has no patience would be better in a snaffle until better trained.
•  Good for beginners who are learning to use reins for communication. Advanced riders will want a port for softer signals.
•  

 Horse:

•   Horse with a fat tongue or is pushy. There is a far bit of tongue pressure.
•  Horse who wants rider to stop hanging on the mouth with contact. (ie. leave my mouth alone). The horse will thank you for it.

Some Features:

• Roller will encourage horse to salivate and relax.
• Independent side movement of shank. Great for lateral work. Life shoulders. Great for training or corrections.
• Pretty silver trim on shanks.
• Swivel shank for more guided lateral movement or direct reining.
• Mouthpiece gives room for horse's tongue , no nutcracker effect so therefore humane.
• Mouthpieces are 7/16" thick and is sweet iron. ie. tastes good to the horse.
