Location: NE Texas | L & W bits, I think the Kathy James bit is what you're referring to. It does have a very nice feel. |

Location: SW MO | I have the Kathy James... Love it on my stiffer horses!! My bendy mare didn't love it but it's one of my favorite right now. Travis Grimsley sold me mine for a good price |

Location: Montana | Can someone post a picture. I have a really stiff gelding that I just can't figure out what to use on him. He's also super ratey, put yet if you kick him he won't go any faster. Hates it when you touch his face to try and get his attention. He works great in a snaffle but I don't feel comfortable running him in it. Can't use a chain chin strap has to be leather or a piece of string. |

If you run across a goostree simplicity, try it, your horse sounds like mine-he loves the simplicity-I run no chin strap daughter uses a rope chin strap. The backwards gag looks interesting... |

Location: Broxton, Ga | Well it's late and I can't my pic to load but I like the larger twisted snaffle this bit was a game changer for one of my mares. Recently put it on my another one I just love this bit.
