It suits Western riders who want a ported, correction-style mouthpiece on a moderate shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA port arches the mouthpiece to leave room for the tongue, and a correction mouthpiece is jointed beside the port so each side can move on its own. Paired with a short shank, that gives you leverage without the reach of a long-shank bit, which is why riders use this style for refining a horse in reining and other Western work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAny leverage bit asks for soft, consistent hands. Fit it so it sits comfortably in the corners of the mouth, adjust the curb strap correctly, and give your horse a few rides to learn the feel before you ask for more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Riders Choose the Bob Avila Cambria Port Correction Bit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBob Avila collection\u003c\/strong\u003e — part of the Professional's Choice line of Western bits developed with Bob Avila.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1.75\" to 2\" port\u003c\/strong\u003e — arches the mouthpiece to leave room for the tongue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorrection mouthpiece\u003c\/strong\u003e — jointed beside the port so each side can move independently.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShort shank\u003c\/strong\u003e — more moderate leverage than a long-shank bit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWestern design\u003c\/strong\u003e — made for Western riding, including reining.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProfessional's Choice\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCollection\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBob Avila\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMetal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePort\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.75\" to 2\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMouthpiece\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCorrection, ported\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShank\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShort\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDiscipline\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWestern, reining\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eQ: Is this bit right for a green horse?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA leverage correction bit like the Professional's Choice Bob Avila Cambria Port Correction Western Bit is usually a step up for a horse that already goes well in a snaffle.
