Looking for a bit

I am looking for a short shanked mullen mouth or low port curb bit. I cant seem to find any. Has anyone seen one of these anywhere on line that I could order? A friend has one that I tried on my appy and he seems to be very responsive and happy with it, unfortunately she wont consider selling or loaning it so i am trying to find one of my own. He was being ridden in a mullen mouth driving bit when I got him because the previous owner couldn't find one of these bits either. I talked to the lady i bought him from and also his previous owner before her and both said he doesnt like snaffles so I havent bothered to try him with one. Right now I am using a kimberwick on him but thats a loaner as well and if i have a choice I will buy a western type bit over the kimberwick because i ride western.

Well, I am not sure where to find the bit you are talking about but I love Myler bits. They are expensive but my mare hates snaffles to the point of being dangerous so she has a level 1 comfort snaffle like the one below. They come in level 1,2 or 3. I am sure you can find a different brand with the same concept for cheaper.

I know what bit your talking about. Like a John Israel knock off. A john Israel right now goes for $250+ if you can find someone who will sell it to you! A lot of cutters like that style too, I found some knock offs at the NCHA futurity last winter. But I can't remember who was selling them. Let me think about it a little more...
