| Tom
Thumb Bit

is the ideal transition bit to take a colt into the bit because of it's 1 : 1
ratio. The horse will experience the same pressure in its mouth as the rider will
feel in his hands, yet the horse can get used to curb pressure.

| Crescent
Moon Bit
The Crescent Moon Bit is based on a traditional Californian
Vaquero bit, in the Moorish tradition. Since this is a very balanced design
that will respond immediately to a release of pressure, we at Cattleman's Performance
Bits issued it with fixed rein rings so today's performance horse rider can use
split reins on it, if desired. This bit has a ratio of 1 : 1-1/2 which ensures
a very good control of the pressure put on the horse's mouth and which gives the
bit a shoulder-lifting action.

| Silver
Cavalry Bit
The Cavalry Shank bit is one of the most popular designs
in today's showrings. The 1 : 2 ratio of this bit makes it the perfect showbit
because it will give you enough leverage yet it will take your curb up high enough
to gain control over the horse's shoulder. The rock in this Cavalry Bit slows
your hand down just enough so your adrenaline will not scare the horse in the
showpen !

Aluminum Buster Welch bit
Traditional lightweight hit ! The fixed
cheeks on this Buster Welch bit, by nature, induce less movement in the horse's
head. The rock in this bit slows the rider's hand down which makes it perfect
for the somewhat nervous horse or the very lightly finished horse.

Barbara bit

popular cheekpiece. Due to it's balance this bit will give immediate relief

to the horse that needs it. The 1 : 2 ratio combined with the weight of the
bit induces the horse to be really attentive to the rider's wishes.

| 'The
Oklahoman'
The Oklahoman cheekpiece serves many purposes. Its'
1:2 ratio gives it enough leverage to lighten up the horse in the mouth and poll
yet the shanks have enough rock in them to give your horse confidence in your
hands. We took a timeless design that has been around forever and re-styled
it into this beautifull handcrafted bit.

| 'The
Texan'
This
cheek design is a combination of rudimentary ancient designs and modern technology. The
1:1-1/2 ratio gives you a lot of feel of teh horse's mouth while it makes it easy
for the horse to break at the poll and lower his neck. The lightweight aluminum
will not disturb really sensitive horses while making dynamic stops and spins
or working a cow. Above all, this design will give you perfect lateral and
vertical control of your horse.
