I'm looking for a slow twist snaffle or a square snaffle .... anyone have a favorite brand or recommendation for me?

Thanks much!

Check out Shallow Creek Bits they may have what you are looking for. Bought a few bits from them and liked what I got

We have a Cervi square and really like it. It has some weight to it and they seem to carry it well. We also have a Dutton square that we like

Troy Flaharty makes the best snaffles IMO.  I had a cervi square and got one of Troy's, love it time's 10!!!

So I really like custom bits (I've got a couple that I use and LOVE) .... and Troy's look pretty sweet. what kinda price range am I lookin' at with just a basic Troy snaffle bit?

My finished mare runs in a short shank dog bone sherry cervi bit for barrels :) I'm looking for a replacement for the slow twist snaffle I had but am hearing lots of good things about the cervi snaffles on here too!

Thanks all for the ideas!
