The Reinsman Van Hargis Three-Piece Smooth Billy Allen Bit is perfect for a horse that needs to be softened laterally and rounded up throughout the training process. The smooth mouthpiece does not intimidate or scare a young horse growing confident in their career. However, it still allows enough stability to square the shoulders and is a significant step-up bit for a horse's training toward a solid mouthpiece. If a horse is too stiff in a solid mouthpiece, the Billy Allen is a great option to encourage lateral body control.
