The Professional's Choice Derby Bit offers the subtle yet effective cues needed for a smoother, more controlled ride, allowing both you and your horse to confidently navigate any challenge.Frequently Asked QuestionsIs this bit suitable for my horse, especially if they are still in training?This bit is specifically designed for finished horses – those that have completed their foundational training and respond to nuanced cues. It's ideal for refining performance and providing balanced control in highly trained equines, rather than for basic schooling or breaking young horses.How does the twisted wire mouthpiece affect my horse, and is it too severe?The twisted wire mouthpiece is known to apply more concentrated pressure on the bars of the horse's mouth compared to smoother mouthpieces. It's often chosen for horses that may have become less responsive to milder bits. While effective, it requires a rider with soft hands to prevent it from being overly severe, ensuring clear communication without discomfort.What is the purpose of the low port, and will it be comfortable for my horse's palate?The low port design is engineered to be mild on the palate, providing ample relief for the horse's tongue. This design emphasizes pressure on the bars of the mouth and helps prevent the horse from getting its tongue over the mouthpiece, which can soften the bit's effect. It aims for effective communication while prioritizing comfort.How does this bit specifically achieve "balanced control" and improve overall performance?The Professional's Choice Derby Bit achieves balanced control through several key features. Its shank design promotes excellent lateral flexion and provides crucial hip control, which is vital for shaping the horse's hindquarters during maneuvers. This helps the horse maintain balance and keep its shoulders elevated during turns, leading to a smoother, more precise ride and keeping their hip shaped during a run.Product Details:Product Item Number (SKU): BRB-304Elevate your partnership and performance.
