www.tombalding.com Tom grew up in California and began welding the day he graduated from high school. He started his own company and for almost ten years, he made sailboat equipment and was a certified aircraft welder for the US Government. In 1980 he bought a piece of land outside Buffalo, Wyoming; and in 1984, a woman asked him to weld a broken bit. From that moment on, Balding knew he would des

ign and fabricate bits and spurs. Eventually, in 1998, a World Champion Horseman started using Balding’s bits. Word got around the horse circuits that Balding’s bits were the best that money could buy. He later built his shop in Sheridan Wyoming. His business may have expanded to thousands of orders, but he maintains quality control and treats his small staff like family. Our Spirit:

All stainless. All silver. All American-made. 🇺🇸

There’s something about the clean look of stainless steel dressed up with silver plates and dots that never goes out of style.

Handcrafted right here in Sheridan, Wyoming—one pair at a time, just like we’ve been doing since 1984.

Built in the West. Made to last. 🇺🇸

A classic combination that never gets old. 🤎

Our Short Ballhinge© shanks paired with the Correction© mouthpiece, finished in brown with stainless dots for that timeless Tom Balding look.

At 6 3/4" overall, the Short Ballhinge offers a great option for riders looking for a shorter shank, while the sweet iron Correction© mouthpiece features copper inlay.

The best part? You don’t have to choose this exact combination. Mix and match our shanks, mouthpieces, finishes, and details to build a bit that works for you and your horse.

Handcrafted one at a time in Sheridan, Wyoming.

Baseline or Advantage ~ which one are you reaching for? 👀

Our Advantage shanks have quickly become a customer favorite! They offer a little more weight than our classic Baseline shanks, giving riders a different feel while keeping the quality and craftsmanship you expect from Tom Balding.

The Baseline continues to be a tried-and-true favorite, while the Advantage has been gaining plenty of fans of its own.

Two great options. Two different feels. Which do you prefer?
