"Hello my name is Sarah Stetner. I am an expert horse rider on behalf of Expert Village, and in this video I'm just showing you the types of bits, and this is what we call the roller bit. I've just showed you the twisted wire snaffle. This is just a standard roller bit that I used to use for my old buckskin, and he is a quarter horse. And as you can tell this thing does roll, and then you have the little the little hump that goes right there. He plays with his mouth with this little roller bit, and you can tell how long this part is. This means that it is a very severe bit because of the fact how long this part is. He need a lot of contact with his mouth because he was, his head would come up all the time. So he does need a lot of contact with his mouth. So I used his roller bit, and this is just his head stall, but it is a good bit to use. Probably I'd say for, not training, but like the third bit for the horse. But it is a fun one if you have a horse that needs a lot of contact with his mouth. This is one of the most severe bits that I have."
