"The quality of the bit is great for the price.
This bit worked wonders for my horse who leans in the corners. The leverage this bit creates was just what I needed.

"Originally, I planned to use this bit just when I hack out with friends and go on gallops, etc, as my mare tends to be excitable and really loves to take off. I had a simple french link loose ring, which she used to go great in. Lately, she's hated that bit! My horse is a teeth grinder- and it's just a habit of hers, really. We've had her chiropracted, tack checked, teeth checked, scoped for ulcers, and the vet basically said it's just what she does. If anyone deals with this habit- IT IS AWFUL. I asked for this bit and a bridle for christmas from Smartpak, and rode her in it the other day, just to break in the bridle. Wow! She was a different horse! I am now using this bit during all my rides, she goes so well in this! No teeth grinding, and she is actually salivating, and a lot! My horse has never done either. Plus, it gives just the right amount of "whoa" for her to really listen. This bit is honestly incredible- I've seen it be called a "wonder bit" and it really is! I plan to get more for each of my bridles. Never going back to another bit!"

"I was looking for a step up from a snaffle with a little bit of leverage, but not too much, and I didn't want to pay $90 for a Mylar Eggbut with hooks. I love this bit, great price, my horse likes it better than the Mylar one, and would definitely recommend it to any one who wants to stay fairly soft, but whose horse doesn't quite respect a plain snaffle."

"I've been looking for a good bit to hack my young horse in at home. He likes a loose ring snaffle but needs a little stronger bit with leverage. This bit provides just that. It's not over powering and sharp but does allow you to have control. I would recommend it for anyone with a stronger horse that is still learning."

"I LOVE this bit. It adds just the right amount of leverage. It works great on my horse who absolutely detests a pelham. My only wish would be that something like this was legal for the Hunters but that is obviously not going to happen. I love it for schooling at home though.
Well made. A lot of people I know use this bit and really like it.
It ranks in my top favorites with my kk ultra and a simple dee ring snaffle."

"I purchased this bit for my green 5 year old mare who gets strong on the flat, but doesn't really like to be touched jumping. It's the only bit I've had so far that will really get her back to me and make her work rather than just trot and canter as fast as she can, I love the leverage on it. Also not too much bit when she wants to be left alone, I simply don't enforce the leverage as much. Good bit for those horses who need brakes but overreact to something too strong, and for someone who doesn't want to put too much bit into their greenie's mouth."

"I needed better brakes as my horse is a bit strong on course, but she is very sensitive and reacts too strongly to a pelham or elevator bit. This was perfect! Soft enough that she doesn't over-react, but has a little extra oomph that allows for a bit more control and a more effective 1/2 halt. Just what we needed - love it!"
