The applications, and the progression Wil uses, for these bits, are demonstrated in detail in Video #3 "Beyond The Snaffle Bit".  You can also refer to the the "features and uses" which are described thoroughly in the Notes & Reminders Booklet, included with this video.

Cold Steel Working Snaffle Bit $21.50 Simple, sweet-iron, 5" mouthpiece, now with copper inlay and 3" rings.

Twisted Wire Snaffle Bit      $21.50 Thick, single twist, "tuning snaffle". Cold steel sweet-iron, which can rust and horses actually like. A must in any tack room (like having both a regular screwdriver and aphillips screwdriver in your toolbox.)

Nylon Braided Curb Strap       $9.00 Hand braided, lightweight curb straps for snaffle bits only (Remember the curb strap goes below the rein!)  These soft straps are "quiet" on the horses mouth and do not create any irritating rattling clinking sensation in the horses mouth, like a chain strap would, if used on a snaffle.

Transition Bit      $36.50 Wil also calls it his T-Bit or Transformation Bit.  It has a cold steel snaffle jointed mouthpiece with inlaid copper, loose swivel cheeks and short, swept-back shanks and is used with curb chain.  This is the first bit we progress to after the snaffle, introducing curb leverage to the horse.

Sweetwater Bit      $53.50 The first solid bar (not jointed) bit we introduce to our horses, after the T-Bit.   Cold-rolled steel mouthpiece, with a copper inlay on the bars of the sweetwater (half-moon) mouthpiece, with longer, again, swivel-cheeked, swept-back shanks.

High Port Bit      $53.50 Cold-rolled steel, higher port, flattened spoon and copper inlay in mouthpiece. This bit again has the swivel cheeks, with longer, swept-back shanks. This bit is for the advanced horse, and requires refined hands and timing, having more leverage than the rest of the bits.

 

Chain Curb Straps $7.00

Nice, flat smooth chain curb straps with Latigo & buckle ends
(for leverage bits only.) Finally a good, adjustable curb chain that’s not too long!
