7/16″ Three-Piece with Copper Roller
5″ Cheeks 5″ Mouth
Very nice colt bit for introducing curb pressure and low leverage. Cutters, Team Penners, Trail Riders, Reiners, and Barrel Racers have used this bit on horses with good mouths that don’t need excessive control. The three-piece snaffle is a very nice mouth and has more control than a two-piece snaffle. Also adds some tongue pressure to help set horse’s head. Copper roller acts as a pacifier for nervous horses. Sweet iron naturally rusts into a light patina. The rust creates a sweet taste for the horse and makes the bit more acceptable and increases salivation for a supple mouth. Mullen relief is used on all our snaffle mouthpieces which is a forward curve that creates even pressure across the bars and tongue to eliminate the nutcracker effect.
Moving from Direct Reining to Neck Reining? Stage B is all about transition, with the introduction of leverage and curb pressure. Short Shanked bits and Half-Gags comprise Stage B.
