Achieve unparalleled communication and effortless lateral flexion with a bit designed to bridge the gap between subtle cues and championship performance. Whether you are starting a sensitive colt or refining a seasoned barrel horse, this 3-piece dogbone gag ensures a soft, supple mouth and a responsive, collected frame.

Engineered in collaboration with 4x World Champion Brittany Pozzi, this bit combines the gentle feel of a smooth snaffle with the refined "lift" of a short-shank gag. The high-quality sweet iron construction is purposefully designed to oxidize, creating a "sweet" taste that encourages salivation and relaxation, ensuring your equine athlete stays focused and comfortable under pressure.

Key Features & Specifications:

• 3-Piece Smooth Dogbone Mouthpiece: Eliminates the "nutcracker" effect by laying flat across the tongue, providing even pressure and preventing palate interference for maximum comfort.
• 5-Inch Short Shank Design: Provides mild leverage and quick "signal," making it the perfect "colt bit" or transition tool for horses that require subtle lift without overwhelming pressure.
• Sweet Iron Construction: Specifically designed to develop a controlled rust when exposed to moisture, promoting salivation and a softer, more supple mouth.
• Enhanced Lateral Flexion: The gag action allows the mouthpiece to slide on the shanks, offering superior vertical bend and responsiveness compared to traditional fixed-cheek bits.
• Professional Grade Performance: Designed and tested by barrel racing icon Brittany Pozzi to ensure top-tier reliability and precision in high-speed maneuvers.
• Versatile Training Tool: Ideal for transitioning horses out of a basic O-ring snaffle or for use on seasoned horses that are naturally sensitive and collected.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Why is my new bit starting to rust?
A: This is an intentional design feature! The sweet iron mouthpiece is meant to oxidize, creating a "sweet" taste that horses love. This promotes salivation, which leads to a more relaxed jaw and a softer, more responsive mouth.

Q: Is this bit appropriate for a young horse just starting under saddle?
A: Yes, the 5-inch short shank provides very mild leverage, making it an excellent choice for starting colts. It offers just enough "signal" to teach lateral flexion and vertical bend while remaining forgiving for both the horse and the rider's hands.
