Brittany Pozzi Snaffle Long Lifter Bit

This is a smooth and thin snaffle. It won't hurt the corners of your horse's mouth and won't give you that dull feeling you sometimes get with larger mouthpieces. The Lifter bits come with two different shanks and four different mouthpieces, offering riders many choices. These bits are suitable for all kinds of horses, whether it's a light horse that needs help on the back side or a hard - running horse that needs help shutting down for turns. They help lift your horse's shoulder when turning and assist on the back side of the turn. The lifter also elevates the horse's front end while engaging the hind quarter for turns. If you're having trouble getting your horse to break at the poll and gather for the barrel, this bit can help you achieve that goal. The shank of this bit measures 8 1/4'. Size: 5 1/2

Using this bit is easy. Simply put it in your horse's mouth as you would with any bit. When you're riding and approaching a turn, the bit will naturally help lift your horse's shoulder and engage the hind quarter. To get the best results, use gentle reins and guide your horse smoothly. As for maintenance, after each use, rinse the bit with clean water to remove any dirt or debris. You can also use a mild soap occasionally. Store it in a dry place to prevent rust. Keep an eye on the mouthpiece and shanks for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice anything unusual, it might be time to replace the bit.
