Product Description
This bit is made with a wide chain port bit. I've used this bit on my heel horse, she's kind of fragile in the face, but will still take a hold of me a little too much sometimes after I've run a lot of fast cattle. I never knew this heel horse could be so good in the corner.
One of my friends, a PRCA roper stopped by and rode her a couple of times with this bit, and he asked if he could borrow her for the Salinas Rodeo for team roping, so I’ sent her with him and he loved her!
With this wide chain port her timing on the corner is better, and she picks up on the steer’s timing like you wouldn't believe. Her neck goes down, she curls around a comer like a snake and runs right up there. Her tail is in the dirt! She’s pretty amazing to watch with this bit on her.

A-3 Sidewinder
Posted by Monte Alkire on 23rd Jun 2025
I bought this bit for a friend. I have been using one for 5 years on my #1 Head horse who is now 18. It works great. He has been comfortable and performs well with this bit over this extended time period.

Great Feel
Posted by Laurie Blickenstaff on 9th Feb 2024
I have several of Les' roping bits and like to switch them up. I'd been wanting to try the Sidewinder and right off the bat it has that same great feel as the others. My horses take to it immediately and feel responsive and relaxed.

nice bit

After placing my order for this bit, it arrived quickly via priority mail and was just as nice as the one a friend had acquired earlier. I purchased it for a friend who wanted it, and he is really happy with it.

WOW!
Posted by Pards Mom on 24th May 2016
I love this bit! I know a bit can make a difference but I didn't think it could make this big of a difference! Not only is he working the corners better, his stops are out of this world! He's always had a decent stop but nothing out of this world, at a recent break away clinic his stops were so amazing and he was so light, we received many compliments!

great bit for heelers
Posted by Jake Plaggemeyer Lazy AJ Equine on 12th Aug 2013
This bit make such a big difference in my horses in the corner. Makes a huge difference in getting their shoulders picked up and move them around the corner not cutting it . Three different horses all in different phases of training , same Results. Really love this bit and the results ive been getting definitely looking forward To trying the other bits in this line!!
