It’s not often that ropers, barrel racers, polo players, reiners and dressage riders can agree. These different sports require different talents, different horses and different equipment. Although the contestants in each event have a
common thread—a love for an equine sport and the desire to succeed—each has different goals and different methods of communicating with their horse.
Or do they?
Darren Stoner says he created a bit that is being used by professionals and novices alike in a variety of disciplines. The Perfect Bit combines all of the positive attributes of other popular bits—the snaffle, hackamore, ported and
chain bit, Stoner says.
“The Perfect Bit changes the way riders communicate with their horses. The patented ball-joint connection of the shank to the mouthpiece allows independent rotational check movement,” he says. “This enables the rider
to send the desired message to the horse without the usual distractions or pain.” He says the bit’s design allows for flexibility, stopping, flex at the poll and full-pressure release. It also solves problems related to scoring, nervousness, facing, dropping the shoulder and more.
Stoner says he can achieve a higher level of performance when training a horse with The Perfect Bit, due to the quality and clarity of the signals he can send the horse. The real reward is when he sends the horse back to its owner—whether a professional or a novice—and the owner is able to get the same responses from their horse.
