Long Shank Snaffle

Contoured shape makes the mouthpiece comfortable for the horse to carry with a 3" purchase that provides the leverage required to lift the horse's head and shoulders, which keeps the hind quarters collected.

Rickey's line of bits were designed for training, practice, or competition and feature a loose-cheek shank to encourage lateral flexion and will allow the rider to control the horse's nose.

Rickey recommends using a firm leather curb strap or flat chain with all bits in this series to allow the horse to fell and work off of the bit rather than react to the feel and pressure of a biting curb.  Order your curb strap along with this bit on this page and receive a small discount off the curb strap.
