What can you tell me about these bits if you use them for barrels? Do you run in them or do you just ride at the house with them? Curious this afternoon I suppose.

No flex at all, it is meant to direct that forward movement upwards for a more 'hitched' western pleasure look. It also is way too much bit to use two handed like barrel racers are meant to ride.

Thank you for your input. I'm not looking for a bit with lift. I have a bit that works for my two. But I couldn't help but be curious when google turned this interesting bit up. Nice to know what exactly it is used for. Thanks guys Edited by IRunOnFaith 2016-08-01 4:32 PM
