It aids in achieving superior horse collection and lateral flexion, giving you the finesse needed for proper horse positioning. It helps your horse break at the poll and lift its shoulder, preparing them for a balanced, controlled stop and ensuring consistent loop delivery whether you're training, practicing, or competing.What is the mouthpiece design, and how does it ensure horse comfort?This bit features a unique "pinchless" chain mouthpiece. It's specifically shaped to lay flat across the horse's mouth and tongue, providing a soft and responsive cue when pressure is applied. This design is engineered to prevent discomfort, offering responsiveness without harshness. It’s also forgiving, allowing horses to work off the bit effectively without over-reacting, even with stronger pressure.What is the recommended curb strap, and how does shank length affect leverage?The Classic Rickey Green Chain Shank Bit typically features a 7-inch loose-cheek shank, which encourages excellent lateral flexion and allows the rider to effectively control the horse's nose. For optimal performance, Rickey Green strongly recommends using a firm leather curb strap or a flat chain with this bit series. Proper adjustment of the curb strap is crucial to ensure the horse feels and works off the bit correctly, maximizing effectiveness and avoiding any pinching or negative reactions.Is this bit suitable for all horses and training levels in team roping?While specifically designed for the demands of team roping, the suitability of this bit can vary based on individual horses and their training stages. The chain mouthpiece provides constant tongue pressure, which some horses prefer for responsiveness, while others might prefer a ported bit for tongue relief. This bit is a powerful tool for developing collection, lift, control, and consistency, making it ideal for horses being schooled or actively competing in team roping disciplines.Elevate your team roping performance today.Add the
