Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat makes this a "transition bit" for advancing training?The Professionals Choice Equine Performance Long Shank Lifesaver Bit is widely regarded as a great transition bit from a snaffle and a significant "step up from the short shank." It's specifically designed to help riders advance their horse's training by promoting more collection, improving lateral movement, and encouraging a "break at the poll" for enhanced flexion and control, leading to a more refined performance.How does the mouthpiece ensure horse comfort and effective communication?The bit features a mild copper wire twist mouthpiece that plays a crucial role in horse comfort and communication. This design actively encourages salivation, keeping the horse's mouth moist, which allows the bit to move freely and maintain a "soft feel." It effectively works off tongue and bar pressure and is often recommended for horses with "soft mouths" due to its gentle yet effective action.What are the benefits of the "long shank" design for leverage and control?The long shank design of this bit is a key feature, providing significantly "more leverage" compared to its short shank counterpart. This enhanced leverage offers riders increased control and precision, which is particularly beneficial for advanced maneuvers, refined cues, and achieving better communication. Additionally, the gag cheek is noted for providing valuable elevation in the shoulders, further improving overall horse performance and responsiveness.How should I properly adjust and fit this bit on my horse?For optimal performance and comfort, the Lifesaver Bit should be fitted with one wrinkle in the horse's mouth. It's also crucial to ensure the curb strap is adjusted loosely, allowing 2-3 fingers of space. This ensures the bit functions correctly, providing effective communication without causing discomfort or restricting the horse's breathing.Will the bit rust, and is that a concern?It is true that this bit will rust when exposed to moisture, which is a common characteristic of bits designed with copper elements. However, this rusting is not a defect; in fact, it creates a sweet taste in the horse's mouth and actively promotes salivation. This beneficial effect helps keep the horse's mouth moist and receptive to the bit, enhancing overall communication and comfort during rides.Product Details: Product Item Number (SKU): EQB-413Ready to experience unparalleled control, comfort, and connection?
