linds - 2015-11-20 3:18 PM What kind of sick and twisted world exists where you can only own four bits?!?! I must never go there...
I think this is hilarious! I too agree-even after I made my 4 bit selection-I've been having a panic attack thinking that I should maybe change my choices-like it was some sort of test-even considered deleting my post just in case it came true!!
I don't want to live in a world where I can only have four bits. |

The top four I love and would have listed, I don't even use on the horses I have right now (except the occasional standard smooth snaffle). They just ended up working better in different bits. One is trained as a reiner and just isn't as comfortable in anything but a solid small port. I run her in a small port (i think they call it a mullen mouth) butterfly freter. My gelding won't work as well for me in anything but an articulated correction bit... really?!?!?! It's got me scratching my head, but I've tried a whole trailer full of bits on both of them, and that's just what they like. |

I had to add to my list of favorits is the Sherry Cervi short shank dog bone, really like that bit. I also have another one dont know the name of it or if it even has a name, I will have to post a picture of it sometime and see if any body can tell me what the name of it is if it has a name, had it for over 17 years now and really like it.. |

Location: North Dakota | Single jointed smooth mouth snaffle, double jointed smooth mouth snaffle, a short shank curb with a myler or billy allen type mouthpice and...um...do hackamores count? Cause then I'd go with a good old sidepull. Otherwise probably something with a short shank and a little gag like the Prof choice futurity bits. Smooth mouth there as well. |
