This shank is designed for the stronger horse who still needs the flexibility of the gag cheek. The longer shank and gag action provides more poll pressure which encourages greater flexion and gives you more control.
Mouth: 5-3/4"
Smooth - The traditional snaffle has a slightly curved mouthpiece so it is easy for a horse to carry and is comfortable. This mouthpiece will apply even pressure to the corners of a horse's mouth.
Chain - This mouthpiece is soft and lies across the horse's tongue and bars comfortably without pinching. This mouthpiece offers good lift and flexibility
3-Piece Twisted Wire - The three-piece twisted dog-bone mouthpiece allows for more control than the smooth version.
3-Piece Smooth - The three-piece smooth dog-bone with a copper roller mouthpiece is comfortable as it lies across the tongue. The smooth bars offer a softer feel. Copper roller provides entertainment for a busy horse and promotes salivation.
Twisted Low Port - The twisted wire is more effective on the bars and the lower port is mild on the palate, making it very effective for keeping a horse’s hip shaped during a run.
Smooth Medium Port - This mouthpiece has smooth flexible bars that are softer on the corners of a horses' mouth. The slightly taller port moves freely at the joints and relieves tongue pressure. This is a good bit for speed events.
