Intrepid International Rutledge Roper Bit
Rutledge Roper Bit. Got a problem horse? This bit is worth looking at. This bit may look like a strong bit, but if used with a snug curb, the sweet iron mouth piece will continue to lay flat across the horse's mouth and bars. The Rutledge has been used quite successfully with horses that have split or damage tongues and bars, or plain anxious about their mouths. The shank is flat and allows the curb to move from side to side, which is a new sensation for most horses. Horses seem to go progressively better within only a few days as they become accustomed to this new action. 5 inch mouth with 7 inch floating shanks.
