Snaffle bits work on the bars of your horse’s mouth, usually in response to direct rein pressure. Western snaffles are popular among riders of all levels for a number of applications including schooling rides, trail riding, and training a green horse. They are also appropriate to show in with a junior horse. We carry Western snaffle bits from trusted tack supply brands such as Coronet, Intrepid International, Myler Bits, Shires, Toklat, and Weaver Leather.

Curb bits work on the principles of leverage and apply pressure to your horse’s poll and chin as they rotate. Western curbs are commonly used for more advanced horses.
