Twisted bars with a dog-bone mouthpiece with medium shanks
Roper’s Take
“I like a broken bit on my horses. I don’t really ride anything solid unless I have a horse that leaks with his shoulders. Shooter stays pretty straight. In the last year, he’s allowed me to push on him more, so I don’t have to have as much bridle on him. I ride a leather curb strap on it. Shooter is extremely light. It’s a dog-bone. It’s next to nothing. It’s got a little spoon dog-bone with a roller on it. It does have a lot of feel. It’s twisted so he doesn’t ever just run through it but at the same time it’s not very much bridle.”

Maker’s Take
“It’s a good, all-around bit. It’s good for a young horse to go into from a transition from a snaffle. When you get a little more twist, it adds a little more to it.”
