The Soft Flexi Mouth Training Shank Bit is designed for horses that go in shank bits but benefit from a gentler feel in the mouth. The soft flexi mouthpiece offers a more forgiving contact than traditional metal, helping sensitive horses accept the bit and stay more relaxed while still keeping clear communication. The training shank cheek, with its upper purchase and lower shank, creates leverage when the reins are taken, engaging the curb strap and distributing pressure across the mouth, chin groove, and poll. This combination suits horses ridden in curb-style Western setups that need the structure of a shank bit paired with a softer, more forgiving mouthpiece.
Key Features of the Soft Flexi Mouth:
- Gentle and Horse-Friendly: The soft and flexible mouthpiece allows the horse to comfortably close its mouth, promoting relaxation and responsiveness between horse and rider.
- Consistent Contact: Ideal for sensitive horses, this bit helps riders maintain steady contact, enhancing communication without overwhelming the horse.
- Durable, Flexible Construction: Built with soft, flexible rubber material for a gentler feel in the horse’s mouth.
Straight Mouthpiece Features:
- Even Pressure Distribution: A straight mouthpiece applies uniform pressure across the tongue and bars, ensuring balanced and consistent contact.
- Adjustable Pressure: The thickness and shape of the mouthpiece determine where and how much pressure is applied, giving riders control over how the bit communicates with the horse.
- Steady Contact for Calmer Horses: A thicker, straight mouthpiece is beneficial for horses that need more stable and steady pressure.
Training Shank Design Features:
- Purchase and Shank Leverage: The upper purchase and lower shank work together to create curb leverage and poll pressure when the reins are taken, activating the curb strap and distributing pressure across the poll, chin groove, and mouth.
- Proportion-Based Curb Strength: The length and shape of the shanks, and the ratio between the purchase and lower shank, determine how sharp or more gradual the curb action and poll pressure will be.
- Designed to Work with a Curb Strap: The cheek geometry is intended to be used with a curb strap or chain, which limits rotation and helps share pressure between the chin groove, poll, and mouth rather than loading only the bars.
