Ray Maheu

Elevate your training and performance with the Ray Maheu collection at Teskeys. This curated selection features the gold standard in custom western bits and ready-to-use bridle rigs, meticulously crafted for the professional horseman.

Highlighting the collection are our signature Maheu Bridle Rigs, which often include handmade split reins and single-ear headstalls paired with Maheu’s legendary mouthpieces. Whether you need a Solid Port Bridle Rig for stabilized shoulder control or a Correction Bit with Copper Inlay to encourage salivation and responsiveness, each item is engineered for superior leverage and lateral direction. Discover why professional reiners and cutters trust Ray Maheu for gear that provides a soft, clear signal and a professional edge in the show ring.

Collection Highlights:

• Custom Rigs: Features complete setups like the Solid Port Bridle Rig with Split Reins and Browband Mullen rigs.
• Innovative Mouthpieces: Includes Cathedral ports for maximum tongue relief and poll flexion, and Correction bits with sweet iron or copper for a softer mouth.
• Handmade Precision: Every bit is precisely balanced and TIG-welded to ensure it won't bend or lose its integrity under pressure.
• Versatile Shank Styles: From traditional loose shanks to specialized grazer styles, designed to stabilize the horse's front end and provide instant response.
