We like this bit an awful lot! This one is fancy, so well made, and just has the coolest look. Despite wanting it for ourselves, we are offering it…because we can’t keep hoarding all the nice things! This bit doesn’t have a maker’s mark, but has all the feel and craftsmanship a nicer/higher end production bit. It is a 5″, with a thinner mouth, and is made completely from sweet iron, but has barely started to rust, offering a pleasant taste for your horse. The shank on this one it is stunning, looks to be from German Silver, lined with dots with a small copper accent in the floral concho. The shank measures just 5.5″. Despite being a short shank bit, this one is quite weighty, with a nice balance and feel. This is a super sharp bit, one that would be perfect for the show pen or every day use. You will look pretty fancy with this one on your horse!
