Bob Avila Collection Equine Training Bit - 3-Piece Sweet Iron Mouth with Copper Roller & 6.5" Shank

Achieve a new level of refinement and soft, willing communication with the Bob Avila 3-Piece Training Bit, designed to bridge the gap between subtle cues and clear understanding.

This Professionals Choice bit is the ultimate transitional tool for horses moving from a direct-pressure snaffle to a leverage bit. Featuring a 5 1/8" sweet iron mouthpiece with a central copper roller, it encourages natural salivation and relaxation. The innovative three-piece dogbone design pivots on the bars of the mouth to provide focused pressure for superior lateral flexion and refined collection without the harsh "nutcracker" effect of traditional curbs. Optimized for experienced equestrians with soft hands, this tool is perfect for Western disciplines like Reining, Cutting, and Working Cow Horse.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Why is the 5 1/8" mouth width important?
A: This slightly wider sizing prevents pinching at the corners of the mouth, offering a more comfortable fit for most performance horses compared to standard 5" bits.
