6” Cheeks • 5″ Mouth • 3/8” Sweet Iron • Dog Bone Snaffle • Copper Roller

One of the most popular shanks for training when leaving the ring snaffle and great for introducing some curb pressure. Mouthpiece bends over the bars at a greater angle than a solid or two-piece mouthpiece, allowing contact to new nerves for better control. The copper roller can help calm a nervous horse and add some light tongue pressure for a better headset.

Copper is a soft metal, watch for excessive wear. Sweet iron is intended to rust and promote salivation for a supple feeling mouth. Mullen relief mouthpiece creates even pressure across the bars and tongue to eliminate the nutcracker effect.

Stage B is all about transition, with the introduction of leverage and curb pressure. Short Shanked bits and Half-Gags comprise Stage B.
