Performance short shank bit is excellent for a horse with a soft mouth. Gag cheek provides elevation in the shoulders. All of these bits should be adjusted to fit with one wrinkle in the horse's mouth and a loose curb strap to allow 2-3 fingers. This mouthpiece is a nice transition from a snaffle. The mild copper wire twist applies a more concentrated pressure to the bars and promotes more break at the poll, lateral movement and collection. This bit will rust when exposed to moisture. This creates a sweet taste in the horses mouth and promotes salivation.
