Severe: Jake Minor’s Rocky Staples Bit
Jake Minor talks about why he likes to ride his Rocky Staples bit.

“It’s a pretty severe bit. It seems like horses really respect it. It doesn’t ever pinch, but it seems like a horse will really slow down in it. My horse gets a little strong going down the arena if I don’t have much of a bit in his mouth. I can keep him under control.”
