Product Info for CLASSIC EQUINE Rasp Straight Shank Bit RPSBIT6SS61

The 6" cheek has a 2-1/2" purchase and a 3-1/2" shank. This ratio (the difference in the length of the purchase and shank) and the swept-back design of the shank make this a mild cheek. Contact with the horse's mouth comes slowly in the form of soft pressure to all points of contact. The main point of contact is the corners of the mouth, which is a familiar spot from the O Ring. This bit may also be used with a training fork or martingale to encourage collection and poll control. The mouthpiece is inlaid with copper to stimulate salivation. The mouthpiece is 5-1/8" wide, 3/8" in diameter, and the short port provides tongue relief and works off of the edges of the tongue as well. It is hinged for increased flexibility and distributed pressure to the bars, and corners of the mouth. Soft feel with added control most horses are comfortable with.
