Dustybutts ‘Hustler’ Bit
The Hustler is designed for the finished performance horse or a gritty older horses where more control is needed. It can be used as a competition bit or a schooling bit to get a horse that is not responding to milder bits to collect and break at the poll.
The purchase is 2”, gag 1” and the shank 5.25”
The Cavalry designed shank is angled back to the horse, but at a straighter angle , causing a quicker, more immediate response. The purchase/shank alignment ratio increases leverage, creating greater pressure to all points of contact.
Each side of the mouthpiece moves independently from the other for enhanced lateral control and flexion. Great as an aid for lifting a horse’s shoulder, achieving collection, and promoting a level headset. This bit is a staple item for trainers and horsemen/ women among all disciplines.
We recommend using a curb chain with the ‘Hustler’ bit as it’s designed to have curb pressure as the first point of contact, for sensitive horses it’s suggested to use a leather curb strap and bit guards.
Mouthpiece - 5.25” Three piece square mouthpiece with copper cricket
