Sliester USA Loose Shank Polo Port Curb # 22 - 07A Stainless Steel Arabian Bit

 This is a great Slieter Surgical Steel bit featuring a 1-3/8 inch Polo port #22-07A in clean well maintained pre owned condition.  This bit features the 4.5 inch wide Arabian size polo roller port mouthpiece.  Each Sliester Bit is custom made, never mass produced, offering a fine feeling of balance and they are very difficult to find in retail stores.  Sliester Bits feature the “SQUARE PIN.” This keeps the cheek pieces from turning and pinching the horse’s mouth, yet allows all the action required in a loose jawed bit.   This bit is marked Sanger, Calif USA making it an older bit, as modern Sliester bits were made in Auberry, CA.

This bit is from Sliester's "Original Series" and this line is what started the company and has proven over the past 5 decades to be of great design and craftsmanship.  All these bits feature the square pin loose jaw, which eliminates the cheeks from turning, yet allowing the action required in a loose jawed bit.  This line is the heaviest bit Sliester offers, weighing in at 19.79 ounces which aids in steadying a horse’s head.  The 8-1/2 inch long cheek is Style #22 and features a 2-1/2 inch purchase for a 3.4 to one leverage ratio.  This mouthpiece is the #07 A polo that is 4.5 inches wide for horses with a narrow mouth like Arabians.

SLIESTER has been making bits since 1954 and this one is FULLY MARKED:  this bit is marked SLIESTER Bit on the back of the engraved stainless steel slobber bar and inside the shank it carries the Sanger,  Calif. USA  SLIESTER mark dating it to the 1970's-1980's.

Sliester bits are never mass produced and always a good heavy duty bit that will last you a lifetime lasts and lasts.
