This leads to smoother transitions and clearer communication, making it perfect for transitioning a horse from a snaffle to a curb bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How do I ensure the Professional's Choice Equisential bit fits my horse correctly?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: This bit features a standard 5-inch mouth. For the best fit, ensure there is a 1\/8\" to 1\/4\" gap between the horse's lips and the shanks to prevent pinching, and adjust your curb strap so the shanks rotate about 45 degrees before the chain engages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e EQB-1023\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Professional's Choice","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46598314524893,"sku":"EQB-1023","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/upscaled-1774909424437.webp?v=1774909424","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/professionals-choice-equisential-swept-back-seven-shank-bit-3","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
