Tom Balding Baseline S Shank Low Rider

Sweet iron is designed to oxidize when it comes into contact with moisture in the horse's mouth. This process creates a pleasant, sweet taste that encourages the horse to salivate, relax their jaw, and accept the bit more readily.

A 7-3/4 inch shank is considered a medium length, offering a balanced level of leverage. It provides enough signal for precise communication without being overly severe, making it a versatile choice for training or performance.

The Low Rider mouthpiece is designed for horses that prefer a bit with less palate pressure. It offers a comfortable, stable feel that is ideal for horses that might be sensitive or fussy with higher-ported bits.

Because of its durable construction and balanced design, this bit is well-suited for both daily training sessions and competition. The high-quality welding and craftsmanship ensure it can withstand regular, rigorous use.

The S-shaped design helps the bit engage more smoothly when you apply rein pressure. It allows for a slightly more gradual signal compared to a straight shank, which can help in maintaining a clearer line of communication with your horse.
