Unlock your horse’s ultimate responsiveness and achieve a soft, collected frame with the legendary Professional's Choice AV Correction Bit. Designed by Bob Avila, this bit bridges the gap between training and performance, ensuring your horse stays light and focused through every transition.

Forged from the collaborative expertise of Hall of Fame horseman Bob Avila, this correction bit is a masterpiece of technical design. The articulated four-moving-part mouthpiece provides independent lateral movement, allowing for precise, subtle cues that encourage natural flexion and a "break at the poll" without the intimidation of a solid-port bit.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Why is the sweet iron on my bit starting to rust?
A: This is a sign of a high-quality training tool! Sweet iron is intentionally designed to oxidize (rust) when exposed to moisture, creating a sweet taste that horses enjoy. This process stimulates salivation, which is essential for keeping your horse’s mouth soft, moist, and responsive to your cues.

Q: Is this bit appropriate for a horse just moving out of a snaffle?
A: Absolutely. The AV Correction Bit is the industry standard for transitioning colts or young horses into a leverage bit. Its four-part mouthpiece allows you to maintain the lateral feel of a snaffle while introducing the vertical flexion and poll pressure required for finished Western performance.
