Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a life saver mouthpiece and a regular curb bit?
A life saver mouthpiece (also called a tongue relief ring) has a center ring that provides relief for horses that carry their tongue high or are sensitive to direct mouthpiece pressure.

What disciplines is this cavalry shank bit suitable for?
This western cavalry shank bit with life saver mouthpiece is versatile and suitable for trail riding, ranch work, western pleasure, general western riding, and any discipline where responsive communication and tongue relief are beneficial. The moderate leverage action makes it a popular choice for experienced western riders.
How do I clean and care for this western curb bit?
The smooth stainless steel and antique black steel construction makes cleaning simple. After each ride, rinse the bit with fresh water and dry thoroughly. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush with warm soapy water. The rust-resistant materials mean it requires minimal special care - just regular cleaning and dry storage to maintain its appearance.
