Awesome!! Glad it could help 🙂

Where did you get your reins on the loomis, the first bit you showed.

[@WeCanHustle]

I bought that bit and headstall combo at some random tack shop going through Ohio. I don't remember the name, unfortunately. I'm sure you can order it online through any CE stores or Martin stores.

[@WeCanHustle]

Kathy Outlaw I ordered those reins from a guy called Rein Maker. He is on Facebook 🙂

[@Smashleyvincent20]

What is the name of the last bit you mentioned for your stiff horse? I looked up Jim Warner and I only see hacks.

[@Smashleyvincent20]

Is it a cow horse bit?

[@WeCanHustle]

Hey! I believe I made a voice typo 🤣 it’s a l & w bit.. I just tried finding the name but couldn’t. If you go to l&w website you’ll find it

[@brooklynnebrown9298]

Do you have the link to the second bit? I just came across this video in search for a bit for my ottb barrel mare and the second one is exactly what she needs but I can't seem to find it

[@WeCanHustle]

The chain one? It’s made by l&w

[@KaelaLaRae]

Where did you get the cable gag piece? Not the mouthpiece but the side piece.

[@WeCanHustle]

It’s made my reinsman

[@KaelaLaRae]

@@WeCanHustle my bad I thought it was was cable! Thank you I found it!

[@drdinosawr]

what kind of bit would you recommend for a barrel horse in training? i just got my horse and i'm trying to train her as well as me because we've both never barrel raced. i've never owned a horse before her and so i don't know really what to look for. love the video :)

[@WeCanHustle]

It depends where your horse is at and what’s been used before. Typically I start with a o ring but have to move up to a to a little lifter style bit. Something like this shop.wecanhustle.com/products/professional-choice-brittany-pozzi-3-piece-smooth-dogbone

[@drdinosawr]

@@WeCanHustle thank you!!

[@stacyharris353]

What kind of bit do you recommend for a horse that is young but knows the pattern I feel the bit I have on her now is to harsh and she wants to get away with it it's a straight bar combination bit from Martha Josey and I want something with breaks in it for more bend.

[@WeCanHustle]

I love ones that have gag in the middle of shank and purchase. You can get them in many different sizes and mouth pieces

[@brizalopez4131]

what type of bit do you recommend for a in training barrel horse. she’s kinda old but before i got her they used her for breeding and now that i have her i’m not breeding her this year and back in her days she was a mare that did whatever she wanted lol and she’s getting stronger. i need a bit that i can use for a long time what do you recommend

[@WeCanHustle]

I see you’ve seen this video! Probably something with a bit of shank, and most horses like a three piece mouth

[@shamyrahcovington243]

Heyyyy which bit would be best for a hot barrel horse that doesn’t like to stop ?

[@WeCanHustle]

There’s so many options. 1 - if you have a hot horse, you want to keep them happy, comfortable and enjoying their job. Also, it depends how they are on the pattern. I’d suggest something that has a bit of forgiveness(gag) and has a shank for “woah” Mouth piece also plays a big part, something twisted will give more bite then a smooth piece. What do you ride in now??

[@annashantery3063]

I don’t know why but I prefer a hackamore all the time because I feel like it would be hard to breathe and get good air when there’s something in your mouth. Is that just me?

[@WeCanHustle]

Horses breath only through their noses. Some hacks you have to be careful to not block off their airways. Mouthpieces then don’t stop their breathing at all.

[@annashantery3063]

Oh ok awesome

[@annashantery3063]

I have nothing against buts but that is good to know I have sort of been considering trying a bit do you think it’s better for barrel racing?

[@WeCanHustle]

@@annashantery3063 there are so many options out there! It depends on what your horse it trained for and what you need in a bit. The key is to get clear communication so keep that in mind when looking for bits to try
