This Southwestern Equine Western shank curb-style bit is designed for trained horses that are ready for refined communication beyond the snaffle. The Featherlite aluminum construction keeps the bit lightweight in your horse's mouth, allowing quicker response to subtle rein cues while the shank design provides measured leverage for clear, deliberate signals.

The copper inlay mouthpiece encourages natural salivation, helping your horse relax the jaw and accept the bit more comfortably. As the copper and sweet iron oxidize naturally over time, they develop a warm, slightly sweet taste that most horses prefer over stainless steel, promoting a softer mouth overall.

With a 5-inch mouthpiece and 8.5-inch cheeks, this bit delivers balanced leverage without excess pressure. The correction bit design separates rein signals and rewards proper head carriage when used correctly, making it ideal for fine-tuning responsiveness in western pleasure, horsemanship, trail, and ranch riding.

A solid choice for riders progressing their horse's training with clear, controlled communication from the saddle.
