There is a great auction going on over at The Saddle House and the NRCHA Celebration of Champions. This is a great chance to jump the line and get a bit from some great craftsmen. Most of them are a couple years out on orders. Obviously, I would love it if you bid on mine but there are some really great pieces in there. You won't want to miss it.

Here are the details. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/15soe7Czko/

Bidding starts today. This is your chance to own one of the fine bits without waiting in line! Obviously I'd love it if you would bid on mine but there are a lot of great pieces here. I'm partial to mine, it's a great mouthpiece that lots of horses can get along with. It's not too fast, with lots of tongue relief and plenty of signal.

Placing a bid is pretty simple, just comment on the picture of the Bit you want with your bid price.

Here are all the auction details in the full post.

As a rider and trainer your hands and your legs are your closest physical connection to the horse. Great tools for communication at both points are invaluable. It's even better when they are pretty. 😉

If your bridle rack needs one of these, let me know and I'll get you on the list.

I am so grateful for my friend Greg Darnall for always helping me gain a better understanding how to help horses and riders through bit mechanics and design functional western art. Greg's care for horses and the world surrounding them is a benefit to all of us. I'm blessed to know you Greg. Thank you for all that you do and your influence on my work.
