Product description
A Smooth Step Up From Your O-Ring Snaffle
The Professional's Choice Brittany Pozzi Combination 3-Piece Smooth Bit is built for the horse that has outgrown a plain O-ring but is not ready for a curb. It keeps the familiar feel of a smooth snaffle, then adds a rope nose and gag action for more help when you need it.
The three-piece smooth mouthpiece gives more flex and bend than a two-piece snaffle. The rope nose and gag ask your horse to break at the poll and give you more leverage, so you can lift and shape a horse without moving up to a shank.
The 5 1/2 inch sweet iron mouth is set in 3 inch rings. Expect it to rust with moisture; Professional's Choice says that rust gives a sweet taste and promotes salivation, which is what you want in a working mouth.
Why Riders Choose the Brittany Pozzi Combo
- Three-piece smooth mouth — more flex and bend than a standard smooth snaffle.
- Rope nose — adds nose pressure that, with the gag, asks the horse to break at the poll.
- Gag action — gives the rider more leverage than a plain snaffle.
- Sweet iron mouthpiece — rusts with moisture for a sweet taste that encourages salivation.
- 5 1/2 inch mouth, 3 inch rings — a common mouth width with rings sized for this combination setup.
- Transition bit — Professional's Choice positions it as the step after the O-ring for training, tuning and competing.
Best For
Barrel racers and speed-event riders looking for a transition bit with a smooth mouth that adds poll and lift help without a shank.
