Horse Western Curb Bit | Copper Roller Centre Mouthpiece & Short Swept Shanks | BI-0036

BI-0036 Premium Western Curb Bit with Copper Roller Centre Mouthpiece

The BI-0036 is a distinctive western curb bit featuring a copper roller/barrel centre mouthpiece with stainless steel mouthpiece arms and short swept-back shanks. The large copper roller at the centre of the mouthpiece encourages the horse to mouth and play with the bit — promoting salivation, a relaxed jaw, and a softer, more accepting contact. Combined with short shanks for a mild, progressive leverage action, this is an excellent choice for horses that benefit from bit activity and salivation-encouraging metals.

Key Features

• Copper roller/barrel centre — the large copper barrel at the centre of the mouthpiece encourages the horse to mouth and roll the bit with the tongue, promoting salivation and a relaxed, accepting jaw; copper is a warm metal that horses are naturally drawn to
• Stainless steel mouthpiece arms — smooth, tapered arms provide even, comfortable contact across the bars on both sides of the mouth
• Short swept shanks — the gentle backward sweep provides a mild, progressive leverage action on the poll and chin groove; shorter shanks mean a quicker, lighter signal
• D-slot/keyhole upper headstall attachment — secure, clean headstall connection that keeps the bit correctly positioned in the mouth
• Round lower rein rings — for comfortable, precise rein attachment at the base of the shank
• Stainless steel & copper construction — rust-resistant shanks and arms with a warm copper roller; durable, hygienic, and easy to maintain

How to Use

Always use with a properly fitted curb strap or chain. The copper roller encourages bit activity and salivation from the moment the bit is fitted — particularly beneficial for horses that go dry in the mouth or carry tension in the jaw. Use with light, educated hands for best results.

Ideal For

Western horses that benefit from bit activity and salivation-encouraging metals. Particularly popular for horses that go dry in the mouth, carry jaw tension, or need encouragement to accept the bit softly. Suitable for trail riding, western pleasure, ranch work, and general schooling.

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