This fixed cheek leverage bit is well suited for a finished horse. This shank creates lateral flexion and provides hip control which allows the horse to maintain balance while keeping their shoulders elevated during turns. Mouth: 5-3/4" ~ Cheek: 6-3/4" Snaffle - The traditional snaffle has a slightly curved mouthpiece so it is easy for a horse to carry and is more comfortable. This mouthpiece will apply even pressure to the corners of a horse's mouth. Chain - This mouthpiece is soft and lies across the horse's tongue and bars comfortably without pinching. This mouthpiece offers good lift and flexibility. 3-Piece Twisted - The three-piece twisted dog-bone mouthpiece allows for more control than the smooth version. 3-Piece Smooth - The three-piece smooth dog-bone with a copper roller mouthpiece is comfortable as it lies across the tongue. The smooth bars offer a softer feel. Copper roller provides entertainment for a busy horse and promotes salivation. Twisted Low Port - The twisted wire is more effective on the bars and the lower port is mild on the palate, making it very effective for keeping a horse’s hip shaped during a run. Smooth Medium Port - This mouthpiece has smooth flexible bars that are softer on the corners of a horses' mouth. The slightly taller port moves freely at the joints and relieves tongue pressure. This is a good bit for speed events.
