The Reinsman Small Chain Copper Rings Junior Cowhorse Gag Bit is highly favored by both trainers and riders. As a Stage B bit, this is an extremely good transition bit if you need help getting your horse’s legs underneath him and his rear end down. The Junior Cowhorse Bit is all about transition from two handed, direct reining to single neck reining, with the introduction of leverage and curb pressure. The 5 inch stainless steel cheek shanks give the bit some additional leverage and curb pressure, enhancing communication between horse and rider. This junior cowhorse bit has light control and is excellent for training horses in many riding disciplines, softer mouthed barrel horses, and even relaxed pleasure riding. The 5" small sweet iron chain mouthpiece conforms well to the bars and tongue making it comfortable for your horse to pack. Because the chain conforms to the shape of the horses’s mouth the horse can move the links around on his tongue to place the bit in a more comfortable location which leads to a quieter mouth. The benefits of the copper rings on the center chain link encourage salivation, which relaxes the horse's jaw and promotes a supple mouth response.The sweet iron material of the mouthpiece naturally rusts over time, creating a sweet taste for the horse and increasing salivation for a supple mouth. Don't forget to shop our leather, nylon, and biothane curb straps to add to your new bit! Curb straps are an essential add on that helps prevent the bit from rotating. When attaching the curb strap to your bit, it should be located on the top ring where the headstall is attached. This Reinsman Small Chain Copper Rings Junior Cowhorse Gag Bit is backed by a lifetime warranty and can be identified using the product style number BIT345.
