Classic Equine Performance Series Straight Shank Bit

No, this bit is designed for horses that are already well-trained and accomplished. Because it offers precise communication, it is best suited for experienced riders who can provide subtle, accurate cues.

The ported chain mouthpiece is designed to provide tongue relief, which increases comfort for the horse. It also encourages flexibility and bending at the poll, making it a useful tool for refining performance in well-trained horses.

The copper inlay is included to encourage salivation and better acceptance of the bit. Copper has a pleasant taste for most horses, which helps them relax their jaw and soften to the rider's hand.

The 7-inch straight shank provides a direct, immediate response when the reins are engaged. It offers more leverage than a shorter shank, allowing for precise communication, which is why it is recommended for horses that are already responsive to lighter cues.

Yes, it is constructed from stainless steel, which is highly resistant to rust and wear. It is built to withstand the rigors of daily training while maintaining its structural integrity and aesthetic.
