This design is crucial for achieving more collection and faster engagement from your horse. It allows you to deliver clearer, more effective cues, prompting quicker and more precise responses for improved performance.How does the medium port affect my horse and where does it apply pressure?The medium port of this bit is designed to be mild while effectively allowing for additional collection and a gentle break at the poll. It primarily applies pressure to the lateral bar space of your horse's mouth, a method many horses respond well to. Importantly, it provides suitable tongue relief with a minimal amount of palate pressure, ensuring comfort and encouraging your horse to relax and respond freely.Are there different mouthpiece variations for the Loomis Medium Port, and how do they differ?Yes, while the core design of the Loomis Medium Port is consistent, some variations in the mouthpiece can exist to suit different training needs. For example, some versions may include a roller, which can make the port feel more aggressive due to reduced tongue relief, yet paradoxically, it can also act as a calming tool for an anxious horse. Other mouthpieces, like a two-piece twisted wire, are noted as being slightly more aggressive, designed to demand more response and respect from the horse. Always consider your horse's temperament and your training goals when choosing a mouthpiece variation.What materials are used in the construction of this bit, and how does that affect durability?The Pros Choice Loomis Medium Port bit is crafted for both performance and longevity. While specific materials can vary, common constructions include cold rolled steel with hand-inlaid copper bars or robust stainless steel shanks. These materials ensure durability and resistance to wear. The presence of copper, specifically inlaid bars, is often favored as it can encourage salivation, promoting a softer mouth in your horse. Rest assured, this bit is built to withstand rigorous use.Product DetailsProduct Item Number (SKU): PCB-1071Unlock your horse's full potential and elevate every ride.
