Professional's Choice Bob Avila AV Daisy Medium Port Horse Bit - 5" Sweet Iron Mouthpiece, 6" Shank, 2" Port

Achieve the ultimate balance of refined communication and horse comfort with a bit designed to bridge the gap between a snaffle and a full curb. Engineered by legendary horseman Bob Avila, this medium port bit encourages a soft, responsive mouth while providing the clear signals needed for advanced maneuvers.

Part of the prestigious Professional’s Choice Bob Avila Collection, the AV Daisy Medium Port Bit combines decorative Western aesthetics with high-performance engineering. The 4-way correction action allows for independent lateral cues, preventing bracing and promoting true collection, while the high-quality sweet iron mouthpiece naturally oxidizes to encourage salivation and a relaxed jaw.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is this bit suitable for a horse transitioning out of a snaffle?
A: Absolutely. The AV Daisy Medium Port is specifically designed as a transitional or intermediate tool, offering enough leverage to connect with the horse without being overly aggressive, making it perfect for horses graduating to a curb bit.

Q: Why is the mouthpiece starting to rust?
A: This is a desired feature of the sweet iron material. The oxidation (rusting) creates a sweet taste that horses find highly palatable, which encourages salivation and helps the horse stay relaxed and "soft" in the bridle.
