IRON KNIGHTS METAL WORKING

What kind of English bit?

I ride my gelding in a curb correction bit. I have been working him English because he is a very lofty and extended horse. I have been riding in my western bridle because he works AWESOME in this bit.

My question is...are there any bits out there that are similar in mouthpiece? I prefer an Uxter Kimberwick shank. But anything will work.

Please only answer if you know what a curb correction bit is and how it is used...I hate to post this after my questions but please don't waste my time or yours with answers that don't work. Thanks!

Any links to websites I could purchase a bit like this would be greatly appreciated!

I would use a correction Kimberwicke; if your horse goes well in the curb correction, this will probably suit him well.

Here are a few of my first choices for this situation:

This one is my first choice; seems like a quality bit that would work well for you:

Good luck!

Edit: oops! Found more! These first few are D-rings; they will give you a more classic Hunter look, if that's something that's important to you. Plus you can use a curb chain with the D's as well, so that's just one more thing that's the same as the curb correction.

This one would not be my first choice but here it is anyway:

This one is a little strange-looking; I wouldn't recommend it for showing.

I just love Schneider's...
