Stage B is all about transition, with the introduction of leverage and curb pressure. Short shanked bits and half-gags comprise Stage B. This bit has 5" Cheeks and a 5" Mouth. It also has a 5/16" Twisted Sweet Iron Snaffle. Extremely good bit if you need help getting your horse's legs underneath him and his rear end down. The short gag action collects a horse very well. The small twisted wire adds some "bite" to give this light bit more control. *****LIFETIME GUARANTEE*****
