Avila Bits

Avila Bits

The Avila Bits are made by Bob Avila, one of the world's greatest horsemen.

Southwest Correction Bit

This bit works well on many different horses. It has a mild leverage shank and the big correction offeres the horse lots of tongue relief. The barrell rollers make the bit slower to engage and do not intimidate the horse.
Port 2", Mouth 5", Shank 8 1/4".

Silver Shank Medium Port Bit

This bit works well for younger horses once they've been seasoned in a smaller bridle for a while, and also good for older horses. The mouthpiece is thicker than most, and the port offers a great deal of tongue relief. Really good all around bit.

Bob Avila Mouthpiece With Signature Shank

This bit has lots of feel in a horse's mouth. The shank is a medium leverage shank and this mouth piece with the fat bars sits nicely in a horse's mouth. This bit is good for an older, more broke horse that can get a tad strong.
Port 2 1/4", Mouth 5", Shank 8".

Straight Roller Bit

The mild mouthpiece and short shank in the Avila Straight Roller make this a very gentle bit. The sweet iron mouthpiece with copper roller is curved just slightly to offer tongue relief.
Mouth 5", Shank 8"

Medium Port Bit

This bit works well on an older, seasoned horse that tends to pull on the bit. The "C" in the port allows the horse tongue relief, while the flatness of the port creates pressure on the horse's tongue, discouraging him to pull.
Port 2", Mouth 5", Shank 8 3/4".
