IDEAL FOR:
• Riders who need additional help staying quick and packaged up through turns.
• Riders looking to give their horse more response time in timed events.
• A horse that is a seasoned competitor and has the tendency to get a little strong through a run.
• A horse that needs refinement and subtle cues.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT:
• It will help package a horse up to keep them collected and on their hindquarter through turns.
• It will help correct an elevated nose and dropped shoulder.
• 2" Gag action on the bit provides pre-signals to the horse before pressure is applied.

HELPFUL TIPS:
• Applies pressure to the tongue and bars when pressure is applied to the reins.
• Curb chain tightness allows for the customization of pressure.
• Start loose and increase tightness for additional control or increased signaling.
• This bit falls into our Stage D category; Stage D bits are used to achieve refinement through subtle cues and quick communication. Characteristics in Stage D include increased leverage, more sophisticated mouthpieces coupled with rope nosebands, and may incorporate higher ports.

MORE DETAILS:
• All leverage bits should be used with a curb chain to function correctly. Without a curb chain, a shanked bit can rotate back toward the rider. Curb chains should stop the shank’s rotation at approximately 45 degrees.
• Cheeks are made of medical-grade stainless steel to prevent rust and guarantee longevity.
• Each bit is closely inspected by a team of expert craftsmen who pride themselves on the quality of their workmanship.
