slowpoke - 2015-03-21 5:50 AM As the owner of Shallow Creek Bits, I will say we do still make everything in our shop in these TN hills!!  There are still a few bit makers in the US but the majority are made in China now. I will say it is hard to compete with the prices with the cost of purchasing our products in America. Boyce puts a lot of time and effort in making bits that we feel really fit a horse.

Bits made in China are difficult to avoid unfortunately. Most bits that we use are made in China and because they have a "brand name" on it people look past the fact that they are made in China. Classic equine, professionals choice, and even myler bits are all made in China buy the same manufacture infact. I personally refuse to buy bits made in China for the simple fact that I feel buying american made is better in many ways. If you don't take the time to look for american made things and support the people that put in the effort to make sure the bit is well constructed, balanced correctly, and more importantly made by people that probably know the head of a horse from the ass then all there will be one day is China made crap !
