Classic Equine Tool Box 6" Straight Shank -Short Correction Bit

A slight step up from the snaffle. Applies pressure to the chin, bars and corners of the mouth. Gives added pressure to the tongue for more feel. The 6" cheek has a 2-1/2" purchase and a 3-1/2" shank. This ratio (the difference in the length of the purchase and shank) and the swept-back design of the shank make this a mild cheek. Contact with the horses mouth comes slowly in the form of soft pressure to all points of contact. The main point of contact is the corners of the mouth, which is a familiar spot 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. The mouthpiece is 5-1/8" wide, 3/8" diameter and curved to shape to the corner of the mouth for soft, evenly distributed pressure to the bars, tongue and corners of the mouth.
