Achieve effortless vertical flexion and a softer, more responsive mouth without sacrificing your horse's comfort or trust. This bit serves as the ultimate bridge for horses transit ioning from a snaffle to a curb, providing the refined communication necessary for elite Western performance. Engineered for excellence, the Professional's Choice AV Training Correction Bit features a sophisticated three-piece mouthpiece designed to apply gentle palate pressure, encouraging your horse to break at the poll and collect with ease. The integration of high-quality sweet iron and copper rollers creates a natural oxidation process that stimulates salivation, ensuring your horse stays relaxed, focused, and "soft" in the mouth throughout the most demanding training sessions. Key Features & Specifications: Three-Piece Correction Mouthpiece: Articulated design applies mild palate pressure to encourage vertical flexion and fluid movement at the poll without intimidation. Sweet Iron & Copper Construction: Naturally oxidizes to create a sweet taste that promotes salivation and a more agreeable, moist mouth for better bit acceptance. Pinch-Free Joint Design: Specifically engineered to prevent painful pinching, ensuring your horse remains comfortable and willing during lateral and vertical cues. 6.5” Classic Style Shank: Delivers mild-to-moderate leverage for refined handling and precise control, offering a forgiving feel for horses in training. Standard Dimensions: Features a universal 5” mouth and a 1.5” port, providing the ideal balance of tongue relief and effective communication. Versatile Transition Tool: The industry "go-to" bit for colts or seasoned horses moving from a snaffle to a leverage bit in Reining, Western Pleasure, or general training. Performance-Driven Durability: Crafted with Professional's Choice's signature attention to detail to withstand daily use while maintaining its corrective integrity. Frequently Asked Questions: Q: Is this bit suitable for a horse just starting to learn leverage?A: Absolutely. This is widely considered the premier transition bit because the 6.5” short shanks provide enough leverage for refined cues while remaining mild enough for horses graduating from a snaffle. Q: Why is the mouthpiece changing color or rusting?A: This is a sign of high-quality sweet iron! The material is designed to rust when exposed to moisture, creating a sweet flavor that horses find highly palatable, which encourages salivation and a more relaxed jaw. Q: Does this bit help with horses that are stiff at the poll?A: Yes, the three-piece correction design is specifically intended to apply the subtle palate pressure needed to encourage a horse to "break" at the poll and soften their topline for better collection.
