IMPORTANT !!!

OPTION 1.These bits are available in blued steel with an outline of blue, brown , black or oxidized (rust) on the shank of the bit. This is done by a heating process. The color will eventually wear off and turn a brown color. The mouth piece is sweet iron with a copper inlay. These bits WILL RUST. Some people, especially cowboys, find this desirable. The rust can be minimized by coating the bit often with oil. Color can be put back into the bits if the rust is not too bad.

OPTION 2. If you do not want that rusted look, order white steel. This is probably what you are most use to in a show bit. It is sweet iron mouth piece with copper inlay and the shanks are steel with sterling silver overlay. The mouth will rust, but horses like the taste. To minimize the rust on the mouth, clean the bit after use.

Snaffle mouth pieces will come with chain for flexibility --not solid slobber bar-
