A simple, dependable bit that works on just about anything. The SC-045S is our locked-mouthpiece version of an O-ring, giving you instant contact when you pick up your reins. Because the mouthpiece is locked in place, there is less movement before the horse feels your cue, making the response quicker and more direct than a loose O-ring. It is a great place to start with a young horse, but it is just as useful on a seasoned horse that needs a clean, uncomplicated feel for everyday riding, slow work, or tuning. Best ForYoung horses learning basic rein cues, seasoned horses that prefer a simple setup, or riders wanting quick, direct contact without adding leverage. FeelSimple, direct, and consistent.
