Professional's Choice Brittany Pozzi Lifter Bit Series Barrel Racing Bit - 5 1/2" Mouth, 6 1/2" Cheek

Elevate your performance and shave precious seconds off your time with the Brittany Pozzi Lifter Bit, designed to give your horse the ultimate front-end lift and poll flexion needed for winning turns. This professional-grade tool transforms a heavy-headed horse into a responsive, collected athlete, ensuring you ride with the confidence required to dominate the barrel pattern.

Engineered through a collaboration between Professional’s Choice and barrel racing icon Brittany Pozzi, this bit represents the pinnacle of competitive tack design. The high-quality sweet iron mouthpiece is specifically crafted to oxidize over time, creating a sweet taste that encourages salivation and bit acceptance, while the strategic shank geometry provides the perfect balance of leverage and lateral communication for horses transitioning into advanced performance work.

Key Features & Specifications:

• 5.5" Mouthpiece: Provides a slightly wider fit than standard bits to prevent pinching and accommodate the anatomy of modern performance horses.
• 6.5" Medium Shank: Offers a quick, crisp response and balanced leverage, making it ideal for horses that are already relatively light and responsive.
• Enhanced Shoulder Lift: Specifically engineered to prevent "diving" into turns by encouraging the horse to pick up their front end and stay balanced through the pocket.
• Sweet Iron Construction: Intentionally designed to rust when exposed to moisture, promoting a moist, relaxed mouth and superior communication between horse and rider.
• Assisted Poll Flexion: Helps your horse "break at the nape" and gather their body, facilitating smoother transitions and more powerful hindquarter engagement.
• Transition-Ready Design: Serves as the industry standard for moving horses from a snaffle to a shanked bit, providing clear lateral cues with introduced curb pressure.
• Professional Grade Durability: Developed with 30 years of expertise to withstand the high-pressure demands of the competitive barrel racing arena.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Why is my bit starting to show signs of rust?
A: This is a premium feature of the sweet iron mouthpiece! The rust is completely intentional and creates a sweet taste that encourages salivation, leading to a more relaxed jaw and better bit acceptance.

Q: Is this bit suitable for a horse that gets heavy in the front end during turns?
A: Yes, this is the primary purpose of the "Lifter" series. It is specifically designed to provide the elevation needed to keep a horse from leaning on the bit or dropping their shoulder in the turn.

Q: How does the 5.5" mouth compare to a standard 5" bit?
A: The 5.5" width is preferred by many professional barrel racers as it offers a bit more "room" on the bars, significantly reducing the risk of pinching the corners of the mouth during high-speed maneuvers.
