This mouthpiece lies comfortably across the horse's tongue and is great for any timed event competitor. The 742 Sweet C Ported Chain Mouth conforms to the shape of the horse’s mouth to provide tongue relief and even pressure dispersal. This is a wide, 1 1/2" port that provides a greater amount of tongue relief than the average chain port. The 1” gag action has a no-pinch ball design for greater comfort and to oppose potential pinching of the cheeks. It's a great bit for Barrel Racers and Ropers.
IDEAL FOR:
• Added response time due to the 1” gag action.
• A seasoned performance horse in timed events.
WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT:
• The ported chain mouth conforms across the horse's bars to evenly distribute pressure.
• The 7” cheeks provide more leverage for added control.
• Sweet Iron cheeks are intended to rust for added eye appeal.
HELPFUL TIPS:
• Applies pressure across the bars of the mouth when pressure is applied to the reins.
• Start loose and increase tightness for additional control or increased signaling.
• 5 ½” Mouth width fits a variety of horses and provides added comfort and discretion from unnecessary pinching.
MORE DETAILS:
• All leverage bits should be used with a curb chain to function properly. Without a curb chain, a shanked bit can rotate back toward the rider. Curb chains should stop the shank’s rotation at approximately 45 degrees.
