This beautifully crafted Baseline bit features a Short shank in a satin finish. The mouthpiece is our Double Cross. This shank measures 6 3/4". 5 1/8" Mouthpiece. The Double Cross is an excellent transition bit. Really helps to prepare a colt to pack a bridle. Very soft yet makes a colt carry their noses up and down instead of pushing out. Really great for the colts that wants to reach for the bridle a lot. Makes them drop the nose and bridle up.
