All TATO’S bits are handmade in the USA, crafted with precision using a combination of sweet iron and stainless steel for durability, balance, and performance. Sweet iron encourages natural salivation for improved acceptance, while stainless steel components provide strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability.

Each bit is carefully finished and balanced to deliver clear communication and consistent feel, making it suitable for both training and competitive environments.

The TATO’S 4-Ring Barrie Sweet Iron Bit is a leverage-based bit designed for riders seeking increased control while maintaining clear, direct communication.

The Barrie mouthpiece features two jointed sections with offset center links, creating a double nutcracker action that increases pressure on the tongue and bars compared to a traditional double-jointed bit. This design provides a more defined response without the added sharpness of twisted mouthpieces.

The four-ring cheekpiece introduces poll pressure and leverage, allowing riders to adjust rein placement based on the desired level of influence. This configuration makes the bit adaptable for different horses and training stages where additional control is needed.
