Richard
Shrake
designed and dedicates this limited edition “Legacy Bit” to the
great horsemen of this century: Jimmy Williams, Arnold Rojas, Mac
Mchugh, Clyde Kennedy and Luis Ortega.
These trainers opened their hearts
and shared their wisdom with Richard when he was a youth. He was
welcomed by all of them and they brought him along the path to become
the professional horseman he is today. Their knowledge and dedication
to the horse is the basis of Richard Shrake’s Resistance Free® Training
methods.
This limited edition bit represents Richard’s remembrance
of their lives as the greatest horsemen who ever lived, honoring their
legacy to the horse world as we know it today.
This bit meets
the exact standards that you have come to know and expect from
Richard Shrake. The craftsmanship exhibited both on the silver and the
copper inlays represent the very highest quality. The "Legacy Bit" is
hand made using sterling silver, sweet iron and copper. It takes full
advantage of the natural curves of your horse's mouth. The result is a
functionally superb bit to use and a fine art piece worthy of any
collector of fine western heritage.
The "Legacy Bit" produces a
mild leverage. This is due to the swept back design and an extremely
comfortable mouth piece. You can see there is ample room for the tongue
and height to provide for the maximum PreSignal® for the horse.
Due
to
limited production, only 250 total, each “Legacy Bit” is engraved
with Richard Shrake's name and numbered for authenticity. A certificate will be
provided with each bit. It is a bit to be coveted by collectors and
horsemen who will want to use it on their horse for those special
occasions or.
