The Dustybutts ‘Sioux’ bit is a moderate gag bit that is popular for the transition between a snaffle and a curb bit in a young horse. This shank will give more leverage while maintaining a soft feel, making this bit good for lateral control and collection. A step up from the snaffle allowing the rider to move forward to the next level of training. We recommend this bit to be adjusted to fit with one wrinkle in the horse's mouth and a loose curb strap to allow 2-3 fingers.  A wonderful choice when transitioning from a D-Ring or O-Ring snaffle.

We recommend this bit to be used with bit guards and curb chain / curb strap due to the small bridle ring - approximately 1” across
