About this item

Highlights

  • Superior Control: The innovative weighted cheek design provides excellent balance, contributing to increased control and gentle poll pressure, ensuring your horse responds effectively to your sophisticated cues.
  • Fluid Lateral Movement: Experience clean, precise, and effortless lateral movements. The unique floating spade mouthpiece adapts perfectly, offering refined pressure points for enhanced maneuverability.
  • Harmonious Communication: Designed to apply pressure to the bars of the mouth, tongue, and palate, the floating spade acts as a "signal bit", encouraging a lighter, more responsive horse.
  • Promotes Suppleness: Crafted from sweet iron, the mouthpiece will naturally rust when exposed to moisture. This creates a pleasing, sweet taste that encourages salivation, promoting a softer, more supple mouth.
  • Elegant Design: Featuring polished steel cheek pieces adorned with intricate dot designs, this bit combines exceptional functionality with a touch of classic elegance from the Dot Shank Collection.

It is not recommended for young or inexperienced horses, nor for addressing fundamental training issues. When used correctly by an expert rider, it facilitates subtle communication; misuse by an unskilled rider can cause discomfort or injury.How does the Floating Spade Mouthpiece work?The "floating spade" mouthpiece functions by applying precise pressure to the bars of the mouth, tongue, and palate. When the reins are engaged, the spade moves away from the tongue before making contact with the palate, serving as a sophisticated "signal bit." Additionally, as a shank bit, it utilizes leverage to apply pressure to the chin groove and poll, enhancing control and responsiveness.What are the key design features of this bit?Key features include its distinctive "Dot Shank Collection" design, which incorporates a weighted cheek for superior balance, increased control, and added poll pressure. The mouthpiece is made from sweet iron, which naturally rusts to produce a sweet taste that encourages salivation and a more supple mouth. The polished steel cheeks are often embellished with decorative silver and turquoise dot designs, blending functionality with aesthetic appeal.What are the dimensions of this bit?This Professional's Choice bit features a comfortable mouth size of 5 1/4 inches and a shank (cheek) size of 6 inches, designed for optimal fit and performance in finished bridle horses.Product Details:Product Item Number (SKU): PCB-142Elevate your partnership and experience a new level of communication.
