Horse Spanish Curb Bit | Black Oxide Butterfly Cheekpiece & Wave Mullen Mouthpiece | BI-0060

BI-0060 Premium Spanish Curb Bit | Black Oxide Butterfly Cheekpiece & Wave Mullen Mouthpiece

The BI-0060 is a striking Spanish/Iberian curb bit featuring the classic X-shaped (butterfly) cheekpieces with S-hook upper headstall attachments, a gentle wave/S-curve mullen mouthpiece, and loose lower rein rings — all finished in a bold black oxide coating. The same classical Iberian design as the stainless BI-0061, the black oxide finish adds a dramatic, contemporary aesthetic that stands out in the arena while retaining all the performance characteristics of the traditional butterfly cheek design.

Key Features

• Black oxide finish — a bold, dark coating that gives this classical Spanish bit a striking modern aesthetic; the black oxide is durable and resistant to corrosion, maintaining its appearance with regular care
• X-shaped (butterfly) cheekpieces — a classic Iberian design that provides a stable, fixed contact; the broad cheek prevents the bit from rotating in the mouth and delivers clear, direct lateral signals
• S-hook upper headstall attachments — traditional Spanish-style S-hooks for clean, secure headstall connection; a distinctive feature of classical Iberian bridle hardware
• Wave/S-curve mullen mouthpiece — the gentle S-curve provides tongue relief while distributing pressure evenly across the bars; no nutcracker action, making it comfortable for sensitive horses
• Loose lower rein rings — free-moving rings allow a degree of mouthpiece movement, softening the rein contact and encouraging the horse to mouth the bit

How to Use

Use with a correctly fitted curb strap or chain. The butterfly cheekpiece and wave mouthpiece make this an excellent choice for horses that are well-schooled in collection and respond to light, subtle rein cues. The S-hook headstall attachment is traditional to Iberian bridle fitting — ensure the hooks are correctly oriented for secure attachment.

Ideal For

Advanced horses in classical dressage, working equitation, Iberian disciplines, and traditional Spanish and Portuguese horsemanship. A refined bit for riders who want the elegance of classical Iberian design with a bold, contemporary black finish.

Size Guide: Measure your horse's mouth width from corner to corner and add 0.5 cm for the ideal fit.
