This is a lightly used pre-owned brown steel show Argentine snaffle bit with engraved German Silver overlays and berry trim. This is a pre-owned bit, but has been very well maintained and lightly used with some light rusting to the mouthpiece. The shanks are in well maintained condition with some light rusting from use. The mouthpiece is a lightly rusted sweet iron with copper inlays on the back side.
This beautifully detailed Argentine Snaffle Bit has hand engraved German Silver filigree overlays over brown steel shanks that measure 7 inches long with a 2-1/2 inch purchase for a 3 to 1 leverage ratio. The smooth 3/8 diameter snaffle bit mouthpiece measures 5-1/8 inches wide. An Argentine snaffle is very forgiving and will teach a horse about leverage bits, what a chin strap is, and how to respond to the pressure it creates. It is a pretty simple bit and gives you a lot of lateral control, because the cheeks will swing out when you pull with one rein. This bit was specially designed to increase performance by precision combinations. The close up photos show the makers mark on the inside right shank that says "Gist" and "Classic Equine".This mouthpiece can really enhance feel and communication for a rider that can work with a soft hand, and a horse that’s been properly bridled. This bit works particularly well for horses that work better with pressure on the bars and tongue versus under the chin.
This bit is National Reined Cow Horse Association (NRCHA) show legal and gives the classic-necked horse the performance advantages of perfect neck flexion and head position. This is a very nice quality retired bit with beautiful engraving, great balance, and attention to details. This bit is made by Classic Equine Equibrand Designs under license and designed by Gary Gist Engravers. This is a great addition to your bit collection and will look great in any show ring setting.
I will leave response after receiving response from buyers as confirmation item has been received.
