The forward-tilt, low-port mouthpiece encourages the horse to soften and relax its jaw, while the 5\" cheek provides supportive leverage without over-restriction. Hooks give riders a straightforward path to transition from direct rein action to indirect action, which can help with collection, responsiveness, and transition work without swapping bits. Copper inlay promotes natural salivation for a calmer, more comfortable feel. When needed, pairing with a curb strap adds controlled curb pressure for refined cues during advanced schooling. This bit is ideal for riders seeking a reliable, versatile English bit for warm-ups, transitions, and steady communication during training sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hilason","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52683791139091,"sku":"TO-89-44365","price":265.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/9415\/7075\/files\/149516-Y.jpg?v=1764987665","url":"https:\/\/www.everestranchstore.com\/es\/products\/med-eng-dee-w-hooks-36-5","provider":"Everest Ranch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
