ABSTRACT:
A horse tack bit comprising: a mouth piece having two ends; two opposed tubular cheek pieces, each of said cheek pieces including an angled shank portion which is attached to an end of the mouthpieces and extends rearwardly downwardly and inwardly therefrom and a flexible portion; a bridle ring disposed at the end of each cheek piece proximate the angled portion thereof; a rein connector; flexible cables extending through the tubular cheek pieces and the ends of the mouthpiece and attached at ends thereof to the rein connector and the bridle reins to hold the bit together; and a spring disposed inside of the flexible portion of each cheek piece. When a set of reins is attached to the rein connector, tensioning the reins in one direction will cause flexion of the bit, thereby turning the head of an animal wearing the bit in the opposite direction of the tension.
