I think this design is the best design we've ever offered. Short, heavy shank, with a tremendous amount of lateral. Through trial and error and by not falling in love with one design and with the help of some good friends, I kept manipulating the configuration of the shank, until I came up with the majority of the weight close to the mouthpiece. And for some reason that no one can tell you, horses like it, they understand it better and if they understand it better, that makes my job easier as a horse trainer. LBM (little Big Man) comes in a swivel or a solid shank. The swivel is easier to operate. The solid shank has a tendency to make the horse ride straighter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVarious Mouthpieces\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jim Edwards","offers":[{"title":"V Correctional","offer_id":49907396477170,"sku":"LBM-VCOR","price":300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0342\/1241\/3578\/files\/IMG_3481.webp?v=1786398009"},{"product_id":"jim-edwards-futurity-swivel-correctional-bit","title":"Jim Edwards Futurity Swivel Correction Bit","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the best-known bit designs in the performance horse industry.  I have worked on this for many years.
