COLOR / METAL
The Silver Show horse bits are available in:
Sterling over Stainless
Stainless Steel with Sterling Silver Overlay (also referred to as WHITE, STERLING OVERLAY, or SOS) like B-1020 SOSBLUED, BLACK, BROWN, or PATINA.
Brown is brown with a shine; Patina is a rusty brown. These are iron inlaid with Fine Silver (also referred to as Sterling inlay or Patina, Black, Brown or Blued Steel). See B-1020 Silver Inlay, Blued. If you want the Blued, black, or Patina with silver overlay, request it (see B-1020 Silver Overlay, Blued). Either send us a message when placing your order or please call us. .
CARE / MAINTENANCE
The iron in your custom made western show horse bit will oxidize eventually creating an attractive contrast to the silver. Moisture and humidity will expedite the oxidation. So keep your handmade bit dry to retard the oxidation. Choose Sterling over Stainless if you don't want them to rust. The silver will tarnish but will give the engraving a nice contrast making them look antique.
MOUTHPIECE
The standard mouthpiece width is 5” but as you can see from the drop menu (once you have selected a bit number, under mouthpiece width), we can make the mouthpiece width as narrow as 4 1/2" and as wide as 6". Arabian horse size is typically 4 3/4". If you need a different width, just let us know.
All mouthpieces are hand forged iron "sweetened" with copper inlay.
Three Mouthpiece Angles are available: 1 - Normal; 2 - Slight Drop (towards horse's tongue); 3 - Straight or Drop towards the back (towards palate). See the Mouthpiece Angles diagram under Mouthpieces main category -- scroll to the bottom of the page.
COST
There is a wide selection of custom silver show horse bits and countless options/changes that can be made to your handmade horse bit. Most without additional cost. However, if putting a larger concho, the price goes up depending on the size of the silver concho; and custom bits with a brand or initials in Jewelers Bronze are approximately $30 more.The mouthpiece is included when purchasing a custom made show horse bit. However, a handful of mouthpieces, mainly the spade and those with more work or copper, are $25 extra; the Chileno MP-25R is $35 extra.
The show custom made, handmade horse bits are available in STERLING OVER STAINLESS (which is Sterling Overlay - all White in color – See B-1020 SOS); and Steel with a BLUED, BLACK, BROWN or PATINA finish (Sterling inlay – see B-1020 Silver Inlay, Blued) for the same price -- as noted in the drop menus. If you want the Steel with a Blued, Black, Brown or Patina finish with sterling overlay (see B-1020 Silver Overlay, Blued), it may be same price or slightly higher.
