Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a high port and a low port bit?
A high port bit has a taller curved piece in the center that presses against the roof of the mouth, signaling the horse to flex at the poll. It is used for advanced training and control, especially for aggressive horses. A low port sits lower and is milder.
What curb strap should I use with this bit?
Rickey Green recommends a firm leather curb strap or a flat chain. This allows the horse to feel and work off the bit rather than react to the biting curb, providing better communication.
Is this bit suitable for a green horse?
No, this high port roping bit is designed for trained, advanced horses that respond well to precision cues. It offers strong leverage and is best for horses already familiar with curb bit action.
How do I clean and maintain a stainless steel bit?
Rinse with warm water after each use to remove saliva and debris. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Occasionally use a stainless steel cleaner or mild soap. Avoid abrasive pads to prevent scratching.
What size mouth does a 7 inch bit fit?
A 7 inch bit typically fits horse mouths with a wider conformation. It is often used for larger horses or those with a thicker jaw. Always measure your horse's mouth width from the inside of one cheek to the other to ensure proper fit.
