Price: $60Cdn (HST included) ($60+HST= $67.80 new) (shipping and handling will be based on your location)

Features:

• Very tall purchase so the purchase to shank ratio is small. ie. 1:2.5 ratio. Mild.
• Independent side movement of shank. Great for lateral work. Life shoulders. Great for training or corrections.
• Copper inlay in mouthpiece. Great for salivation. Helps horse to stay calm.
• Swivel shank for more guided lateral movement or direct reining.
• Does have a slight curved mouthpiece. Creates more room for horse's tongue as opposed to a bit that goes across the mouth or jointed (nutcracker effect. Nasty). ie. Humane.
• Mouthpieces are 7/16" thick and is sweet iron. ie. tastes good to the horse. No stainless steel or others that create dry mouth. Does have a tiny bit of rusting starting (which is a good thing. Confirms sweet iron material.).

Uses and Benefits:

•  Good for horse's that know their job and/or sweet dispositions and/or older, calmer horse.
• The medium shank allows the rider to soften their hands (not needing to pull so hard like in a snaffle - no shanks).
• The curb action (with a curb chain) will use leverage and therefore will ask for more attention from the horse.
• The mouthpiece gives generous room for the tongue, will not interfere with horse when there is slack in the reins. Will give a great head set when contact is made on the reins. Also will act as a great emergency brake.
