What are your opinions about them? I recently bought the Train To Win bit to help with a few issues and I didn't like it. Such a shame but hoping it will work on a few other horses in the future if we run into problems.

LOVE MINE! I have the Show to Win, my mare is super sensative and I thought 'no way!' so I tried a friends before I bought it. They are great, I got mine through The Tack Stop.

I just started using his train to win bit on a three year old. I was a little skeptical about the solid curb but my three year old really responded to it well. He has always had a high head and with this bit I barely touch the reins and he drops his head. I does take some time for you and your horse to get used to but all in all I love it.

what made you not like it? How does the bar curb work-does it engage last, as soon as you apply pressure?
The curb seemed to fit just fine but a little tight. My horse has a bigger jaw so maybe that's why it just didn't work out. My horse broke at the poll really well with it and turned good but just seemed a little more stiff. :/
