Crafted in Sheridan, Wyoming, the Tom Balding Advantage Short Shank Double Cross Bit delivers elite responsiveness, smooth leverage, and exceptional comfort. Built with heavier 3/8" satin-finish stainless steel shanks measuring 7" overall, the added weight creates a faster action and immediate release, giving your horse clear, light signals without heavy hand pressure.At the center, the 5 1/8" sweet iron mouthpiece naturally oxidizes over time to encourage salivation and a softer, more willing mouth. The signature Double Cross floating spade applies balanced tongue and palate pressure with a gentle delay, keeping clever horses from getting their tongue over the bit while settling anxious minds. Whether you are stepping a horse up from a snaffle or refining an experienced ride in the arena or on the trail, this handcrafted bit gives you total control with incredibly soft hands.
