"My trainer has a old style
bit that no one has seen before. It is called a mexican breaking bit. It

has very short shanks(about length of full cheek pieces) a single,
curved
snaffle mouthpiece with flat bars. It looks like a snaffle that was run
over by a steam roller. It is made of brass. When the horse has his head

down and vertical the mouthpiece lies flat and is very comfortable to
the
horse. When the horse sticks out his nose or raises his head the bit
rotates on to its edge giving the horse an immediate correction. When he

lowers his head it flips back flat and gives an immediate reward. We
have
talked to and shown this bit to many bit makers and dealers and they had

never seen one before. If any of you have seen one please let me know as
I
have been trying to locate another."

Sounds like you need to find yourself a steam roller!! <VBG>
