Classic Equine SS Performance Series Bit 6'' Shank Snaffle

Softest of all shank bit styles. Transition bit for horses moving up from the O or D-Ring. Soft pressure is applied through the curb.

The 6” cheek has a 2-1/2” purchase and 3-1/2” shank. This ratio (difference in the length of the
purchase and shank) and the swept back shank design make this a mild cheek. Contact with the
horse’s mouth comes slowly as soft pressure to all points of contact. The main point of contact is the corners of the mouth, familiar from the O Ring. This bit may also be used with a training fork or
martingale to encourage collection and poll control. The mouthpiece is inlaid with copper to stimulate salivation. It is 13 cm wide, 3/8” in diameter, and curved for soft, evenly distributed pressure to the bars, tongue, and corners of the mouth.
