The Tough1 Comfort Gait Shank Bit is a gentle, pinch-free mouthpiece that extends beyond the horse's lips for better communication, plenty of tongue relief, and resistance-free action across the tongue, bars, and lips. This horse accessory has flush brass fittings in the pinchless mouthpiece and cheek pieces with smooth, independent action from side to side. This bit is made of stainless steel with inlaid copper mouth and copper roller for added durability.
