Refined Communication for the Finished Horse

When you've put in the miles and your horse is ready for those subtle, "whisper-quiet" cues, the Toklat Wes 7 3/4" Shank Brass Trim Med Port with Copper Roller is the tool you need. Designed for the seasoned horse that understands neck reining and indirect pressure, this bit allows for incredible precision without having to pull.

Toklat has crafted this bit with both the rider's signal and the horse's comfort in mind. The elegant brass trim adds a touch of traditional ranch style, while the technical design ensures your horse stays responsive and relaxed through every transition.

Key Benefits

• Refined Leverage for Light Hands. The 7 3/4" shank provides significant poll pressure, allowing you to deliver clear signals with minimal hand movement—perfect for the finished western horse.
• Enhanced Tongue Relief. The medium port design offers more room for the tongue than a standard low port, reducing constant pressure and encouraging a more comfortable, willing frame.
• Promotes a Soft, Focused Mouth. The integrated copper roller encourages salivation and gives "busy-mouthed" horses something to play with, helping them stay relaxed and attentive to your cues.
• Durable Construction with Classic Style. Featuring a beautiful brass trim, this bit is built for the long haul in the arena or on the trail, combining Toklat's trusted durability with a professional look.
• Standard Performance Fit. The 5" mouthpiece is the industry standard for most Quarter Horses and stock breeds, ensuring a reliable fit for the majority of average-sized riding horses.

Best For

Experienced riders with light hands looking for refined communication and tongue relief for their finished western horse.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What level of horse is the Toklat Wes 7 3/4" Shank bit designed for?

This bit is best suited for "finished" horses that are already well-versed in neck reining and indirect pressure. Due to the leverage provided by the 7 3/4" shank, it should be used by riders with soft, experienced hands.

Q: How do I know if the 5" width will fit my horse?

The 5" mouthpiece is the standard size for most average-sized horses (14.2 to 16 hands). For a proper fit, you should see about 1/8" to 1/4" of space on either side of the horse's lips to prevent the shanks from pinching.

Q: Why does this bit have a copper roller?

The copper roller on the Toklat Wes bit serves two purposes: it encourages salivation to keep the mouth "moist" and soft, and it acts as a natural pacifier to help keep a nervous or busy-mouthed horse focused.
