Pony's Bit Cozy, Prototype B.... I think we have a pattern!

Attempt number 2, and I think I am happy with this one. I'm showing it on the 4 inch pony snaffle that I used on Jamie and the 6 1/2 inch draft driving bit I used on Trooper before he passed away. I thought it would be good to illustrate how it fits on different sized bits.

All the stuff I liked about Prototype A, without the stuff I don't like. Easy assembly as well.

Whoo Hoo! Now I just need to figure out if anyone would buy these things, haha! In the mean time I am using it to keep my feet warm, and I gave Prototype A to my daughter to heat up and stuff her hands into. lol.

    These are fabulous!
    It never occurred to me that such a thing existed, but what a great idea!
    If it is cold enough for the bit to be cold, my hands are usually freezing as well, therefore of no use as bit-warmers, so I inevitably end up tucking the chilly bit under my shirt to warm it up against my belly. . .
    So, I gotta say again: GREAT IDEA!!!!!

    HAHAHA! I used to stick the bit under my shirt too... Then I started hooking the whole bridal over my arm UNDER my coat and zip my coat up to keep the bit warm.... then I had to take my entire coat off to bridle up but at least my horsie didn't have to deal with a cold bit!
