Expert Posts: 1631 Location: Somewhere around here	The only one I know about is not for riding, it's made for a horse that plays with bits too much and you put it on them for an hour or so, tied up somewhere with a halter on as well, and they're just supposed to tired their mouth out. I think I saw it on South Texas Tack or something along the lines of that. It wasn't used for riding though.

I just read the headlines Posts: 4483	RoaniePonie11 - 2018-08-03 7:01 AM I was told about these and I want to hear/ see more. Anyone? I have heard of them but have never seen one. The girls who mention them were in Europe and not barrel racers. I am curious, too.

	Interesting... I've seen them for TB and SB racing but not on a barrel horse.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 380	My husband made one to ride a horse that he had that didn't like bits. It works great! I can't get the pic to load but if someone can do it for me I will send it to them.

Husband Spoiler Posts: 4151 Location: North Dakota	I have one that was made to be used without a headstall. It straps under the chin. My mare has an old poll injury that flairs up once in awhile that makes her nearly unrideable with a headstall so I found bridleless bits and had one made. I can ride her and keep her legged up with this bit during her horrible episodes. I have no tried running a pattern in it.
