Rutledge Roper Bit

Rutledge Roper Bit 5 7 floating shanks. Stainless steel with a sweet iron mouth. Although this may look to be a strong bit, if used with a moderately snug curb, the bit/mouth piece will continue to lay flat across the horse's mouth and bars. It has been used quite successfully with horses that have split or damaged tongues & bars or are just plain anxious about their mouths. Because the shanks float, they allow the curb to move from side to side, a new sensation for most horses. Animals seem to go progressively better within only a few days as the they become accustomed to this new action.
