Long Shank
Long Shank
A long shank increases the leverage and the pressure on the curb groove and the bars of the mouth. Longer shanked bits rotate back further before applying pressure on the horse's mouth than shorter-shanked bits. Having a long shank on your bit insures more leverage and your message is quicker. Typically, riders introduce a long shank once they have a finished/experienced horse as it can be a bit more pressure in the mouth.
