Jeffries Chifney Anti-Rearing Bit (Size: 4.5 inch, Colour: Silver) (Colour: Silver, Size: 4.5 ")

The Chifney, also known as an anti rearing bit, is a horse bit designed for leading spirited horses and ponies. The Chifney attaches to a sliphead or headpiece, and has a single loose ring for the lead rope to attach to at the back of the horses chin. The thin bit with V shaped mouth will dig into the horses tongue should the horse try to rear or pull, and can be very effective. The anti rearing bit should be used with care as with any severe type of horse bit and is for leading only. Chifney bits are often only seen for sale in standard and large sizes, but they should be sized as any other bit, the same size as your horses normal bit size should be used to achieve correct fit.
