Product description
A Straight Roller Curb Bit With Daisy Shanks and a Copper Roller
Best for: Western riders looking for a straight-bar curb bit with a copper roller and a moderate 6 inch shank.
The Professional's Choice Av Daisy Straight Roller is a Western curb bit built around a straight-bar mouthpiece with a copper roller at the center. The mouthpiece measures 5 inches, the standard width for an average Western horse, and the shanks run 6 inches.
A straight bar gives steady, even contact across the mouth instead of folding the way a jointed mouthpiece does. The copper roller gives a horse that likes to play with the bit something to roll with its tongue, which many riders find helps a busy mouth settle into the work.
The daisy design on the shanks adds a touch of Western style that suits a show headstall as well as the one you use every day. At 6 inches, the shanks sit in the shorter, moderate range for a leverage bit.
Why Riders Choose the Av Daisy Straight Roller
- Straight-bar mouthpiece — a solid bar keeps contact even across the tongue and bars rather than folding in the middle.
- Copper center roller — gives the horse something to roll with its tongue, a feature many riders like for a fussy mouth.
- Moderate 6 inch shanks — a shorter shank length than many show curbs, for riders who want leverage without a long lever arm.
- Standard 5 inch mouth — fits the average Western horse and works with a standard curb strap or chain.
- Daisy shank design — a decorative floral shank that looks right on a dressed-up headstall.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size horse does a 5 inch mouth fit?
A 5 inch mouthpiece is the standard size for most average Western horses. Measure your horse's mouth or check the bit you already use; the mouthpiece should sit with a little room on each side so the shanks do not pinch the lips.
Q: Do I need a curb strap with this bit?
Yes. The Professional's Choice Av Daisy Straight Roller is a curb bit, so it needs a curb strap or chain adjusted so the shanks rotate back a little before the strap engages.
Q: What does the copper roller do?
The roller turns when the horse moves it with its tongue. Many riders use a roller for a horse that likes to play with the bit, since it gives that habit somewhere to go.
