Can Someone Identify This Bit

[JLD]

Hi,

A friend of mine collect horse bits and she recently got this one given to her.

Is there someone her who could tell me/her what sort it is and anything else about it.

If not can you reccommend someone who might know.

Thanks in hope

Hi Johanne,i know jack squat about horses but I do have a couple of harness and saddler books I have picked up.Looking thru them I see a couple that look similar.One is called a Weymouth and the other is called a Pellham.That may give you a start on something to look for.

The part with the "U" shape and rollers along the left is the mouth piece, the angle makes it difficult to see, though. Multiple pictures at different angles would have help in that regard.

It's pretty hard to do decent searching while on my phone, but I did find a guide for bit and spur types here.

Hi Its a curb bit with a ported mouthpiece

Looks like what we call a correction bit based on what i can see of the shape of the port( no matter what it is called a curb bit due to the shanks on either side of the mouthpiece, and this one as another poster said is a ported mouthpiece, they can have jointed ones. )

Any marker's Marks on it? the rings at the bottom of the shanks tell me that it was likely meant to be used with romel reins and rein chains.

Hi;

I believe that bit is called a King's Dressage and is used together with a snaffle. Not 100% sure but it looks like one.

Basically, it is a high port loose cheek bit.
