I'm going to need a custom bit made for my gelding, and the only two bits he seems happy in are sweet iron. These two are the start to finish and a dutton bit.
I've had him in a no hit and I love the feel of their bits but he prefers no gag and a longer purchase than most bits. The only bit that was close to the start to finish was an L&W bit and those don't seem to work for my hands in any of their styles.
So, I didn't know if horses had a real preference or if it's just how the bits made?

Well I'll just say I have a sweet iron Rosie gag-like bit with a port and most of my barrel horses have done better in it than others. Im wondering if I could get a No Hit Bit in sweet iron because that's what I'm using as my slow work bit and he seems happier mouth wise with the sweet iron. Interesting idea for a comparison though...

They only make bits out of stainless, when I asked. Thanks, I was hoping I didn’t sound crazy
