SPUR SHANK OFFSET OPTIONS
Spur Shank Offset Options Did you know that you can order your spurs with an offset shank? Just mention the degree of offset you are looking for when placing your order with our friendly staff by phone or email. If you are ordering off of our website just follow up with an email indicating you would like an offset shank and the degree of offset you would like. "What are the benefits of an offset spur shank" you ask.

We have put the offset on just one spur or both depending on the need to allow them the ability to ride in comfort. If you have any questions about spur shank offsets please let...

"Whats In Your Horses Mouth?" ~ Article By Amy ...
WHATS IN YOUR HORSES MOUTH? A Happy Horse starts with a Happy Mouth: Horse pacifiers – rollers, copper, & rust Finding the right bit for your horse is a huge key to how successful you are in getting the most out of your horse’s performance. A happy horse starts by being happy with what’s in its mouth. There are many options for bits and not all horses like the same mouthpiece in their bit. Granted, some times it’s not the bit, but whose hands the bit is in, that can ultimately determine if the horse is responsive or accepting. Generally, good signs that a horse has accepted, or actually approves of, its bit are the way the horse will carry his head and neck as well as relaxing in its jaw. A horse that is “softâ€, or accepting of the bit, is flexing at the poll and throat latch, relaxed at the jaw, as well as not mouthing the bit; meaning constantly chewing on the bit or tossing and slinging its head. If one sees their horse displaying such behavior, it’s always a good idea to have your horse’s teeth checked as well as consider your horse’s equipment such as...
