Member Posts: 38 Location: SD	Any suggestions on where to get a copy of a bit? I only have photos of it and can't seem to find the exact one online. I also don't want to spend $200+ on it either so any suggestions would be helpful!

Expert Posts: 1477 Location: In the land of peanuts and cotton	Shallow Creek or L&W. I've used both. Both of there prices are about the same on standard bits. I would go to Shallow Creek first just because they have helped us out with donating stuff for benefits. I will always try to support business that will support us.

Well since she stated that she can't find the replica anywhere I doubt it. Plus if you went through the trouble of having a copyright on it, wouldn't you be selling them?

I am asking, as one cannot duplicate photos without the photographers permission, actually you aren't even supposed to use watermarked photos and I see this done all the time with horses for sale. Designing and building bits is expensive, and I would think these guys would protect their work. I seen she doesn't want to pay $200 for the bit, and I know Dave Elliott bits are close to $200 to have him build one. To the op have you posted a picture of the bit on this page to see if anyone recognizes it

Extreme Veteran Posts: 316	It may not be a professionally taken picture-- that is what I assumed. I was guessing that it is an old bit she tried of someones and they cannot remember where it was made and no indication of who designed it.

Member Posts: 38 Location: SD	Thanks for the suggestions! I tried the bit from someone and they can't find a mark on it and they got it at an auction for pretty cheap but she uses it to ride colts in so she doesn't want to part with it!

A Lady with Fight Posts: 2701 Location: NC	Carolina Bit. WAY better service than L&W for the same quality. They actually answer and get back to you. And send you the correct bit you ordered..... Seems like L&W service has gone downhill the last few years. I know several who just couldn't get the correct bits they ordered.
