It’s also important to be able to talk about the different types of mouthpieces because bits are often categorized in this manner. To collectors, the most distinguishing thing about a bit is the design of the cheekpiece and the engraving, embellishment, and the maker. Shown above are the terms used to describe the different parts of a bit. It’s very important to be able to identify all the parts of a bit so that when discussing them you can understand what others are talking about and so that you can properly describe a bit you may be looking at or talking about. Before getting to all these different types let’s look at a diagram of a curb bit so that we can get all of the terminology straight. There are many styles of curb bits, which can be distinguished by unique cheekpiece patterns and mouthpiece design. Bar and Snaffle bits are relatively simple and utilitarian bits, without much room for embellishment or artistry compared to the curb bit.
