FeatherLite Pro Series Aluminum Bits by Southwestern Equine These FeatherLite Long Shank Show Bits are just what you've been looking for. These beautiful engraved bits are made with you and your horse in mind. Now you can have a gorgeous bit with the exact mouth piece that makes your horse happy. All bits have an 8 1/2" shank and the same beautiful engraving. The shanks are aluminum and extremely lightweight. Now you get the shank support you need without having such a heavy bit for the horse to carry. We also designed the headstall cheek ring to be curved out to allow added comfort for the horse. By adding this curve, you can now ride with your tie down, cavesson, or halter and know that your horse is comfortable Why FeatherLite: ✓ Light weight; easier for your horse to carry ✓ Many mouthpieces to choose from ✓ Mouth Piece's are still solid metal to keep horse from chewing through the softer metal ✓ Beautiful Engraving on the shanks to give you that "show bit" feel for any ride. ✓ The longer shank produces more leverage than a shorter shank, but is slower acting ✓ Bits that have broken mouthpieces are slower acting and provide the horse with what essentially amounts to a preparatory signal.

I take care of my tack, and wash it ...
I take care of my tack, and wash it routinely. Especially the bit, I usually rinse it off to keep from saliva and cud building up. Within 5 rides the mouthpiece and "copper" roller already have rust showing.

Very poorly made
Very cheaply made. No weight to it at all. The bit part has a chunk out of it. The headstall/cheek ring is bent, making it out of balance.Don't waste your money on this subpar item. I wish I had listened to the reviews that I had read.
