"I think a bit needs to fit a person as well as it fits the horse. I want a horse to ride light and this bit allows control with a simple roll of the wrist. The straighter shank gives a quick response and good stop. Good for a horse that likes to push or root on the bit. And as usual, the workmanship is without comparison."

“The Double Cross™ is an excellent transition bit. Really helps to prepare a colt to pack a bridle. Very soft yet makes a colt carry their noses up and down instead of pushing out. Really great for the colts that wants to reach for the bridle a lot. Makes them drop the nose and bridle up.”

“The Sheridan 7 shank Ace of Spades™ mouth piece has more feel than any bit I've ever used. There's plenty of bite, but the swivel allows a horse to get away from it and doesn't scare them. It has lots of lateral, perfect stability, and is good-looking. Tom builds the most balanced bits in the business and this is my favorite bit I've ever used.”

"The Tom Balding Mullened Correction is softer than anyother correction I've used. The curved mouthpiece doesn't bang the bars of my horses mouth."

"All my horses readily accept the new Catalina mouthpiece making this one of my favorites. The size and taper of the bars combined with the angle and curve of the port help me gain body control without fear. This is definitely a must have show bit!"
Robbie Boyce
Performance Horse Trainer
I’ve used the Tom Balding Switchback with Ace of Spades mouthpiece for at least a year now and have been very pleased with it. I am amazed at the versatility of the bit. I’ve tried it on everything from a seasoned bridle horse to a young horse just coming out of the snaffle bit or bosal
with great results. Tom made a
believer out of me.

"This is my favorite bit, it's not as severe as it looks. It gives lots of signal without scaring a horse. The curved mouthpiece makes it soft and easy on a horses mouth."

"The PORTED CHAIN gives me the right amount of feel and keeps my horse soft. I get more rate faster."
