Key Features
-
Non-ToxicNon-Toxic
Bits that are made from non-toxic materials, unlike most plastics, rubbers, and metals, are a safer option for horses who need a gentler bit.
-
Increased PalatabilityIncreased Palatability
Bits that increase palatability often incorporate sweet metals (such as copper and iron) or flavored plastics which encourage the horse to salivate, relax their jaw, and accept the bit. They may be inlaid into the bars, be the roller or lozenge, or make up the entire bar.
-
Leverage PressureLeverage Pressure
These bits use indirect pressure that multiplies the amount of force exerted on the horse's mouth, nose, or poll. They are used by riders who have little to no contact or are looking for more finesse and control.
-
Direct PressureDirect Pressure
Bits that use direct pressure have a 1:1 ratio where the pressure exerted on the reins will be the same pressure felt in the mouth. They are used by riders who often have contact with their horse's mouth.
The Daisy Collection Correction Shank Bit boasts a polished look and offers moderate leverage with a comfortable fit for the horse's mouth. The four-way action provides a subtle response to rein action, which reduces heavy rein handling from the rider. The correctional port applies slight palate pressure to encourage a consistent headset and provide quicker control when needed. The stainless steel cheek pieces feature a whimsical daisy and brash stud design, making perfect for any western rider looking for a bit of sparkle.
The bit is finished with sweet iron pieces to promotes salivation for a supple, comfortable mouth.
