ABSTRACT:
A bit for use with domestic riding animals, such as horses, has a mouthpiece including an arcuate portion curved in a plane oriented at between about 15 degrees to 75 degrees, and preferably at an angle of about 45 degrees, with respect to the jaw plane of the animal, and a pair of spaced apart cheekplates connected to the mouthpiece at slotted shank ends thereof. The cheekplates each include a central ring portion positioned along the major axis of the cheekplate having a rein slot; a shaft collinear with the major axis intersecting the ring portion; an integral bridle attachment at an end of the shaft; and an integral curbstrap attachment offset from the shaft intermediate the ring portion and the bridle attachment. The cheekplates are semi-rigidly connected to the mouthpiece by the engagement of the shaft with the slots and retained therein by a bolt and washer assembly such that each cheekplate can freely fit between about -5 degrees to +5 degrees about the major axis of the slot. The bolt and washer assembly provides for releasably connecting the cheekplates to the mouthpiece for replacing the mouthpiece as needed.
