Professional's Choice Small Flower Shank Horse Bit with Copper Accents - Correction Mouthpiece

A Correction Mouthpiece on a Compact Floral Shank

Best for: Western riders looking for a correction curb bit that answers light rein pressure on a shorter, decorative shank.

The Professional's Choice Small Flower Shank Horse Bit pairs a correction mouthpiece with an antique-look shank decorated with a delicate floral design and copper accents. The cheek measures 5 3/4 inches, shorter than many curb bits, and the mouth is 5 1/4 inches.

The correction mouthpiece is built from four moving parts, so it lets your horse respond to subtle rein pressure. It has a 2 inch port, and copper bars help keep the horse's mouth moist.

It is a good fit for riders who want a correction mouthpiece without a long shank, and the floral design looks right on a dressed-up headstall.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which mouthpiece does this listing come with?

This listing is the correction mouthpiece. The Professional's Choice Small Flower Shank line also comes with other mouthpieces, but this item is the correction version with four moving parts and a 2 inch port.

Q: Is a 5 3/4 inch cheek a short shank?

Yes. A 5 3/4 inch cheek is shorter than many Western curb bits, which gives a quicker, less leveraged feel than a long shank.

Q: Do I need a curb strap?

Yes. It is a curb bit, so use a curb strap or chain adjusted so the shanks rotate back a little before the strap engages.
