20080236111 | Bitless Bridle with Crossover Reinstrap Stabilizer - A bitless bridle with crossover reinstrap stabilizer in English and Western style for riding, driving and training horses and like animals that achieves improved turning and slowing/stopping by threading reinstraps through a crossover reinstrap stabilizer under the horse's jaw, lining the inside of the noseband with rubber gripping or similar textured material, and improved arrangement of component straps. In both styles, a single crownpiece strap over the poll attaches on each side of the face to reinstraps that pass across the animal's cheek, through a crossover rein strap stabilizer under its jaw, then through rings attached to a noseband, and finally to reins. Pulling on a single rein places pressure on the reinstrap on the cheek of the opposite side of the animal's head, causing it to turn in the direction pulled. Pulling on a both reins places pressure on the noseband and the poll, causing the animal to slow or stop. | 10-02-2008 |
20080276579 | DOUBLE CHAIN FOR A WESTERN BIT - A double chain in one example includes two chains lying flatly adjacent to each other, where the chains have chain elements turned out to the right and respectively to the left, which are securely connected with each other at one location. | 11-13-2008 |
20090100807 | Bridle keeper - A method for producing a thermal barrier coating/environmental barrier coating system on a silicon containing material substrate includes applying an environmental barrier coating (EBC) over the silicon containing material substrate; and applying a thermal barrier coating (TBC) over the EBC. The thermal barrier coating includes a compound having a primary constituent portion and a stabilizer portion stabilizing the primary constituent. The primary constituent portion of the thermal barrier coating includes hafnia present in an amount of at least about 5 mol % of the primary constituent, and the stabilizer portion of the thermal barrier coating includes at least one metal oxide comprised of cations with a +2 or +3 valence present in the amount of about 10 to about 40 mol % of the thermal barrier coating. | 04-23-2009 |
20110011040 | Equine Chin and Crown Guard - A chin and crown guard to be used between horse and the bridle; made to enhance the horse's comfort and protection as well as enhancing the rider's performance. | 01-20-2011 |
20140109530 | Longeing Device - A longeing device for attachment to equine headgear includes a flexing segment having first and second ends. The segment is configured with a length so that when its ends are attached to opposite lateral sides of headgear on an equine head in a normal standing position, the segment's midpoint hangs freely below the head. The segment includes at least one rigid element configured to apply force to a side of the head when the segment is pulled laterally. First and second fasteners, each coupled to a respective first and second end of the flexing segment, couple to attachment points of the headgear. | 04-24-2014 |

20080250760 | Horse Bit - A snaffle bit ( | 10-16-2008 |
20080302069 | Horse Bit - A horse bit ( | 12-11-2008 |
20090282789 | DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING ANIMALS - An improved bit for controlling a horse. The mouthpiece of the horse bit comprises extensions for applying pressure to the interior of an animal's mouth. A trained animal will respond to the applied pressure as actuated by the rider via the reins. | 11-19-2009 |
20120031057 | HORSE BIT - A horse bit has a mouth bar and two control bars. The mouth bar is arched and is in the range of 5 mm to 10 mm in diameter and its length is dependent on the size of the horse. The control bars are formed integrally with, and from the same material as, the mouth bar and are located at opposed ends of the control bar. The mouth bar and the control bars are substantially coplanar. Each control bar is angled inwardly and makes an angle that is in the range of 75° to 90° with the adjacent portion of the mouth bar. | 02-09-2012 |
20130312375 | Adjustable Horse Bit - An adjustable horse bit that acts as a snaffle bit (direct-pressure) under normal circumstances and transforms into an elevator bit (leverage bit) when a threshold force is applied to a hingedly attached lever section of the horse bit cheek piece. Absent the threshold force, a retracting means acts on the lever section to transform the elevator bit back to a snaffle bit. | 11-28-2013 |
20140260124 | HORSE BIT - A horse bit includes attachment members to which a horse bridle is attachable, a mouthpiece connected to the attachment members, protrusions protruding from the mouthpiece. The protrusions are each positioned to apply outward pressure to a zygomaticus muscle of a horse. | 09-18-2014 |
054009000 | Double | 4 |
20100170207 | BIT - A bit includes a mouthpiece. A tongue member is arranged on the mouthpiece such that, when the mouthpiece is received in an oral cavity of an animal, the tongue member bears against a tongue of the animal, inhibiting movement of the tongue over the mouthpiece. | 07-08-2010 |
20110047943 | EQUINE TONGUE TIE - An equine tongue tie has a small elastic tongue loop 14 and a large elastic jaw loop | 03-03-2011 |
20140215977 | BITS FOR HORSES - Bits for horses are provided which include a central element, suitable for being inserted in a horse's mouth, a pair of lateral rings, each connected to a respective end of the central element for connection to the reins, and a pair of rosettes for protecting the horse's lip, each traversed by an axial hole to be fitted around the central element, next to the connection to the ring. The axial hole is made in an emerging portion axially facing at least the side opposite the lateral ring. The wall which delimits said axial hole may be sized to provide a stable connection due to the friction between the rosette and the central element. | 08-07-2014 |
20140331620 | HEADGEAR FOR USE IN DIRECTING AN ANIMAL - Headgear for use in directing an animal is disclosed. The headgear includes a bit that includes a pair of rings to which reins of the headgear are to attach; a jointed mouthpiece with a connecting portion adjacent each end for connection to a respective one of the rings such that each ring can rotate through the respective connecting portion, and at least one joint between the connecting portions that allows the mouthpiece to articulate between an undeflected position in which the connecting portions have a maximum separation, and deflected positions in which the separation of the connecting portions is less than the maximum; and a mouthpiece support that extends between the rings, and limits the minimum separation of the connecting portions | 11-13-2014 |

20140190133 | BITLESS BRIDLE WITH DOUBLE CROSS UNDER REINSTRAPS - A bitless bridle with double cross under reinstraps for riding, driving, and training horses and similar animals that achieves improved control, comfort, and communication with the animal. The bridle is composed of a solid crownpiece that bifurcates, after a brow band attachment, into a cheek strap and an elongated reinstrap. The cheek strap connects to two nosebands which have solid rings attached to each end. The elongated reinstraps cross under the horse's jaw and pass through the first set of rings then cross under the jaw a second time and pass through the second set of rings to continue back to the rider's hands. Pulling on a single reinstrap applies pressure to the horse's nose and poll causing it to turn in the direction pulled. Pulling on both reinstraps cinches the noseband in place, causing the horse to slow down or stop. | 07-10-2014 |
