For the seasoned horse that needs you to pick the front end up and get a definite response going into the turn, this bit gives you a more direct feel without gag action. It is similar in style to the SC-75, but without the setback curb. The longer purchase helps create lift and collection, while the added shank length brings in more whoa when you sit down and ask for it. Because there is no gag, your cue comes through more directly. You still get lateral flex and a clean release when you soften your hands, making it a good choice for a horse that already understands its job but needs more help staying elevated and collected as you approach the barrel. Best ForSeasoned barrel horses that need help lifting the shoulders, staying collected, and respecting the whoa going into a turn. FeelDirect and defined with plenty of lift and stopping power. No gag means less delay between your hand and the horse’s response. Rider NoteThis is one to reach for when you need to pick one up before the turn, not just shape the nose. The longer purchase helps with elevation and collection, while the longer shank gives you more authority when you ask one to rate. Build Info6" shank and approximately 8.25" overall from top to bottom. No gag and no setback curb. Comes standard with a curb chain attached. If you would like the bit without a curb chain, please note that when ordering. Handmade in our Tennessee shop with stainless steel hardware and your choice of mouthpiece.
