The Rookie - 3/8" Twisted Sweet Iron
Dogbone Bit
This is one of my favorite bits to use on my
colts that are just getting into a shank bit. The three piece mouth in
this bit allows me to introduce the curb chain to my young horses
and still keep them confident when I pull on them in the turns. If you
ride young horses, you need this bit in your collection. It's definitely one of my "go to" bits! 5"

The Freshman - Large Sweet Iron Chain
Bit
I love the way the Freshman bit works on my
moderately aggressive horses that are sensitive and/or in their first
years of competition. Horses accept this bit well in transitioning up in
control from my "rookie" bit. The chain mouth invites a great
headset, while the short shank & curb chain provide just a little
control to help make a great turn! 6"

Maximum Performance - Large Sweet Iron
Chain
Bit
The chain mouthpiece is a pleasing to a
horse that may reject a port or a snaffle. Allows you to pull on a horse
in a turn and his mouth won't get hard or dull because the chain always
seems to keep a horse fresh. Just the right amount of draw on the shanks,
this is a great feeling bit. 7"

The Money Maker twisted snaffle bit is a very versatile
bit that works great on just about any horse. What I love about this bit
is that it has a nice medium shank and just the right amount of draw on
the sides to give a horse that smooth feel. I use this bit indoors a lot

Long Shank Solid Run - Silver Large Sweet
Iron Chain
Bit
This bit gives a lot of leverage in a turn and is what
I recommend for a stronger horse. The longer shank will help lift a
horse's shoulder and keep him from cutting off his pocket going into a
turn. This chain mouthpiece is pleasing to a horse that may reject a
snaffle or port.

Rate & Turn - Sweet High Port Chain Bit
I love this bit on my younger horses that are just
finding their speed in their run. This medium shank version of the
"Rate & Turn" still gives me some rate but keeps the bend in
our turns. This bit also provides a moderate amount of lift on a horse
crowding a turn.

aggressive horses, and the longer shanked version on the more aggressive
ones. Great competition bit!

able to rate them for a turn. This bit will help you to have confidence in

also help to build confidence and and aggression in your horse, while
providing a moderate amount of control.

Smooth Run - 3/8" Smooth Sweet Iron
Snaffle Bit
This is my idea of the ultimate barrel racing
competition bit. I can put it on a soft mouth horse using a flat curb
chain and get a well balanced run out of him. Then as I shorten the curb
chain, I can step up the severity of the bit and gain more control if I
need it. I have used this bit on young & old horses to coin a lot of
money. This is a pleasing bit to almost any horse.

Long Shank Combination - 7/17" Large
Twisted Sweet Iron Snaffle
Bit
I This is my favorite bit to run a horse that has a
tendency to overrun the first barrel. I generally use it on a horse that
is solid in his training because of the long shanks. What makes this bit
unique is that it has enough control to help you get by the tight barrel
turns, and it's well accepted that may not be used to so much control.
There is a lot of "give" to this bit with the curved mouthpiece
and the gag effect on the shanks. The first time I use this bit on a
horse, I adjust the curb chain a little looser and then tighten it
accordingly as I need more control.

Rope nose for more control. Chuck

Where would Barrel
Racing be today, if not for the efforts and trials of the Josey Ranch? One
of the first Farnam Training Videos was that of Martha Josey. I have a
copy on "tape". I have recommended many of her training tips
from that video to hundreds of gymkhana participants who have seen, some
of them, dramatic improvements in skills and performance. Get you
one!
These bits have proven themselves, not only in our Josey Clinics, Schools,
& Seminars, but also in competitions around the world -

Million Dollar bit is ideal because pressure is evenly distributed on the

mullen mouthpiece helps top get your horse's nose & round out the
turn. Copper mouthpiece also keeps the horse's mouth moist which
makes the horse more willing to be trained. This bit is a favorite of many

position for those snappy turns. (Chuck - My first riding spurs were side
turned rowels. I found them to be effective without "gooching"
young horses. With a little practice you learn to "roll" into
the horse's side increasing pressure until it works with that horse. I
also found this great to sit on the horse, relax my legs and applying
light pressure, after a workout, desensitize the sides of horses that were
overly ticklish.) Martha has added some upward lift to the shank for
easier effectiveness. 7/8" band. 10 point rowel. 1
