Classic Equine BitLogic Rasp Design Snaffle Bit

6" Cheek

The 6" cheek has a 2-1/2" purchase and a 3-1/2" shank. This ratio (difference in the length of the purchase and shank) and the swept back shank design make it a mild cheek. Contact with the horse's mouth comes slowly as soft pressure to all points of contact. The main point of contact is the corners of the mouth, familiar from the O-Ring. 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. It is 5-1/8" wide, 3/8" in diameter, and curved for soft, evenly distributed pressure to the bars, tongue, and corners of the mouth.

Snaffle

Softest of all shank bit styles. Transition bit for colts moving up from the O-Ring. Soft pressure is applied through the curb.
