Ported D Leon

Our alternative to a ring snaffle.  I designed this after years of frustration with a regular snaffle. I always had trouble when using a snaffle of my horses being heavy on it.  Being stiff with their front feet, not wanting to engage their hind legs.  So just like everyone else, I made a snaffle mouthpiece meaner, tried all kinds of martingales, and dropped nosebands, to no avail. But, when I listened to what every horse was telling me, I designed the Ported D.  The D itself has a slot for your headstall to keep the bit stationary so the port cannot turn over and get upside down in their mouth.  We offer 2 Ports in this, the Llano Cricket and the Leon.  Both mouthpieces I think are comfortable to the horse, providing a maximum amount of tongue relief and a 1/2" bar that provides more surface area for contact on their bar.  The Llano with the cricket seems to help alleviate anxiety, especially on a hot colt or a rehab project.  This is the best thing I've ever done.  You only get one chance to make a first impression, so try this on your next colt that you start and I think, like me and many many top horse trainers in the western disciplines, you will be amazed.

A very soft port that features a 1/2" bar that has a long transtion from the port to the bar. Not tall enough to make contact with the roof of their mouth.  Fits a wide variety of horses.
