The 3-piece twisted dog bone mouthpiece is crafted for supreme comfort, lying softly across your horse's tongue and bars to prevent pinching.

The steel is designed to rust naturally, creating a sweet taste that encourages salivation and greater acceptance from your horse.

What is the effect of the bit's short gag action and 6.5" shank?

The short gag action offers responsive control, enabling you to effectively "pick up" your horse when needed, which aids in natural flexion and smooth transitions. Combined with the 6.5-inch shank, it provides precise leverage and poll pressure, enhancing control and encouraging a more responsive and collected performance without excessive force.

How do I ensure the 5 1/2" mouth size is correct and adjust the curb chain properly?

Proper sizing is essential. Measure your horse's mouth where the bit sits; you should aim for about 1/8" to 1/4" space on either side to prevent rubs. For the 6.5" curb chain, adjust it so two fingers fit comfortably between the chain and your horse's jaw. This ensures optimal leverage and comfort, preventing the shanks from engaging too quickly or too loosely.
