Key Features
The Sanft Curb & Bradoon set is a great choice for upper-level Dressage horses. Made of German Silver, these bits promote acceptance, softness, and salivation. The three-piece bradoon avoids the "nutcracker" pinching action of traditional single jointed bits while the low port on the curb allows for tongue relief. Paired as a handy set, these bits offer quality while also being economical.

Customer Reviews
Great set of bits!Very affordable price point and easy purchase process. The bits run true to size and are a great starter set for my Warmblood.
Reasonably priced and functionalIt seems they have fixed the issue with the curb being attached on the wrong side. I like to be able to remove it completely to clean so I went ahead and opened up the hook with some pliers anyway. Both bits were as advertised and well-packaged. Overall I am happy with this purchase.
Curb chain set up backwardsThis is a beautiful bit set, but it is not the best quality, with a small burr on the mouthpiece of the curb bit, the bridoon is a bit thick, and the curb chain is set up backwards. I bought this because it was relatively inexpensive, so I get what I deserve!RW Response: We are sorry to hear of your experience with the Sanft German Silver Short Shank Curb & Bradoon Set.

Chain attached on wrong sideLike the previous reviewer, my set arrived with the curb chain attached on the near side with the hook on the off side. The set otherwise looks quite nice, though I haven't used it yet. I'm debating whether I should send it back or simply make do.RW Response: We apologize that you received the Sanft German Silver Short Shank Curb & Bradoon Set with the curb chain on the incorrect side.

Good value, true sizing, some issuesLove the shorter shank. Also not tight on upper shank and has enough space on the upper shank for horse's teeth. Mine came with the curb chain attached to the wrong side, but stablemate's was correct. Hoping the hook can be opened without breaking. Holes and rings of the bradoon are large. Sizing is accurate and we appreciate the 1/4" increments. RW Response: We apologize that the curb chain on the Sanft German Silver Short Shank Curb & Bradoon Set came attached on the wrong side!
