Our Favorite Bits, Bridles,
Breast Straps, Halters For Sale
No-Pinch Snaffle with 7" Cheeks, 5" Mouth
(pictured without curb chain attached). This bit is easy on the horse's mouth
yet enough leverage for a rider to feel in control. The bit is sweet iron with a
copper inlay, creating a moist, soft mouth. The rings at the cheeks allow
you to attach reins to work off the snaffle, and the rings at the bottom of the
shanks allow you to attach reins for collection, more control. We
frequently ride with double reins while training a young horse, or tuning up an
older horse that hasn't been worked in awhile. This bit comes with curb
hooks and a nickel-plated chain (high quality from England, never rusts or
breaks) attached, and we'll post picture of same later. $60 plus shipping
Natural Horsemanship Halters (in the style
of Clinton Anderson)
These halters have knots in the noseband
which inspire respect and quick response, and in fact, we have used them for
years to start horses under saddle instead of a bit.
No mechanical parts to break

Read About the History of the Tennessean Saddle
In 1996, after sending a customer 3 different saddles that did not fit her Tennessee Walking Horse, it was suggested that National Bridle should design a saddle tree especially for the Tennessee Walking Horse and other Gaited Breeds. It was apparent that we were trying to fit these horses with products made on either Q-Horse or Semi Q-Horse trees. These saddles were too low in the gullet height, too long in the skirts and too narrow in the withers. With the help of the Steele Saddle Tree Company, we began to test different designs and trees. After a year of experimentation, National Bridle introduced the first Gaited Tree to the market and called it the “Tennessean” We had learned that a 32cm (12.6" at its widest point) tree fit 98% of the gaited breeds. Also, a 26" rounded skirt would not interfere with the driving action of the horses rear end and a 8 1/2" gullet height was necessary to allow for the natural head nod of the Tennessee Walking Horse. This tree was the first to have flared bars
(both front and back) that would not “dig” into the horses body as it moved.
The tree is of Tennessee White Pine with a fiberglass coating. The stainless double C rigging plate allows for either 7/8 or 3/4 rigging and the stirrup leathers are set back to allow for a natural and correct leg position. Although this tree has been “knocked off” by many manufacturers, no one has been able to duplicate the exact fit as there is one secret to our success that we do not disclose. People who use this product will testify to the fact that this is a great tree for a gaited horse and new saddle fitting technology bears this out.
