We are proud to offer the Rickey Green signature bit line. Rickey’s team roping credentials are astounding. He is an 11-time NFR qualifier and an NFR Champion. In the past 25 years, Rickey has coached thousands of ropers at clinics across the US and Canada. Throughout his career, Rickey has trained seven horses that have been ridden at the NFR, including three PRCA World Championships, four NFR Championships, two BFI Championships, and the USTRC Open Championship. Rickey’s bits were designed for training, practice, or competition and feature a loose-cheek shank to encourage lateral flexion and to allow the rider to control the horse’s nose. Rickey recommends using a firm leather curb strap or flat chain with these bits to allow the horse to feel and work off of the bit rather than react to the feel and pressure of a biting curb.

Rickey's bits were designed for training, practice, and competition and feature a loose-cheek shank to encourage lateral flexion and will allow the rider to control the horse's nose. The unique mouthpiece of this Setter rolls back when engaged, slowing contact and allows more time for the horse to collect and respond to added pressure. Helps develop the horse's proper head set and teaches a horse to carry the bit correctly. In a high speed situation, it helps the horse rate smoothly and builds consistency. Rickey recommends using a firm leather curb strap or flat chain with all bits in this series to allow the horse to feel and work off of the bit rather than react to the feel and pressure of a biting curb.
