Leather Curb Strap with Rawhide #CU40
$34.00 $27.00
Description: The Leather Curb Strap with Rawhide #CU40 is for use only on an O Ring, D Ring or Eggbutt snaffle bit. The curb is made of 1/2 inch hand-edged latigo leather that has been hand-rubbed and waxed. It has a beautiful handbraided rawhide ball and handbraided rawhide loop keepers. It’s an eye-catcher! This is my favorite snaffle curb, it looks so good on a snaffle bit horse.

Spanish Bit with Frog Mouthpiece #B92
$734.99Description: This beautiful handmade Spanish bit has 8 1/4 inch loose jaw shanks covered with hand engraved inlaid silver. The frog mouthpiece is 5 inches wide and has a 2 inch high port with a copper cricket. The cricket rolls beautifully and sounds soothing to the horse as well as helping to keep the mouth moist.
How it works: Both the shanks and the port are angled making the action in this bit slower than in a straighter shanked Spanish bit with or without a straighter port. The horse will also be able to hold his head more naturally in this laid over port than in a straight port making this a good bit for the two rein stage of training the bridle horse.
Also shown on the horse is the #HS51 Cowboy Headstall with Rawhide, the #CU21 Double Buckle Leather Curb, the #CCR1 Rawhide Romel Reins and the #BC7 Full Rawhide Breast Collar.

Steel Argentine Bit with Silver #A1
$392.00Description: The Steel Argentine Bit #A1 has 6 1/4 inch shanks. It’s made of high grade 4130 steel and overlaid with beautiful hand engraved nickel silver. Five steel mouthpieces are available and shown in the picture to the left. All are 5 1/8 inches wide and have inlaid copper strips to promote salivation except #42. Mouthpiece diameters are listed in the picture and dropdown.
Purpose: This is a nice mild shank and a good one to continue training with once your horse has advanced from the snaffle. It can often be used when a horse is having trouble or is resistant in a longer shanked bit and needs to come back to a milder bit with slower action for a time. This bit works well on many horses and is a great choice if you want one handy all-around bit in the tack room.
This bit comes with #BH51 Latigo Leather Bit Hobble with hand braided rawhide keepers. Shown here with #BH41 Latigo Bit Hobble.
Shown with mouthpiece #2B.

Double Buckle Curb Strap with Rawhide #CU41
$62.99Description: The Double Buckle Curb Strap with Rawhide #CU41 is made of single ply 5/8 inch harness leather that is hand-edged, hand-rubbed, treated with Neatsfoot Oil and hand-rubbed again. Beautiful hand braided rawhide keepers and flat rawhide braid at the chin are added to complete the look. The buckles are stainless steel. The leather beneath the buckles is sewn together to prevent the buckles from slipping during adjustments.
How it works: The braided rawhide at the chin gives a quicker signal than a leather curb. It comes in contact with the chin slightly before the leather. The braided rawhide also gives a stronger signal than plain leather because of it’s texture. This curb may be really helpful on a horse that isn’t responding to the pull on the reins as well as it should with a leather curb. This curb gives a stronger, quicker signal than a leather curb but not as strong as the Double Buckle Curb Strap with Rawhide Ball #CU42.
This curb adds an eye-catching touch to a rawhide headstall and romel reins.
