Pee Wee Bit

NEW  -- the PEE WEE BIT  from Australia, is a major breakthrough in bit design. It is light, yet a great communicator to the mouth of the horse. The tongue slides under the light and upward-curved unbroken snaffle bar. The queue for the horse to turn right or left is a suttle pressure to the SIDE of the lower jaw -- not a vice-like pressure to the corners of the mouth, common to many snaffles. The horse will always turn away from that soft pressure, with his body naturally following his head into the turn. (Bareback Indian riders hundreds of years ago used the same principal, simply by tying a rope to the lower jaw of their war horses. Reins were then attached to this rope.) The PEE WEE BIT is extraordinarily versatile. Good for training young horses (and young riders), yet in the hands of a professional, a horse can be taken to its highest possible level of performance.

Sizes: pony, standard and warm blood.

Price $69

Ring Cuppers

Cuppers are a good idea on the DOWNHILL plunge, especially on "slab sided" horse. They are necessary on mules, for which there is an extra long extension. Available in grade A and B leather.

Cost:
Grade A $59.00
Grade B $35.00

Breeching

Our breeching has solid brass fittings and is made from high grade leather, with the butt and croup sections felt lined. Ideal for mules and pack horses. Breeching is almost always necessary when fitting mules, who are "slab" sided. It will prevent the saddle from going over the shoulder of the mule on a steep drop-off. There are horses that are also slab-sided, and a breeching is a good idea for them as well, especially if they are wearing a pack saddle. Colors black or brown. Solid harness leather, all fittings solid brass with stainless steel tongues.
Price $119.00
