The Professional Choice Equisential Performance Short Shank Bit combines a 5-inch cheek with a 5 1/8-inch mouthpiece. Designed with a gag-style cheek, it aims to influence the horse’s shoulder position while keeping contact on the bars relatively light through the curb chain.
Fit and adjustment: Align the bit so there is a single wrinkle in the horse’s mouth and secure the curb strap loosely enough to allow about two to three fingers of space. This setup helps balance palate contact with controlled rein response.
Function and benefits: The ported mouthpiece provides tongue relief, and the chain is light on the bars to facilitate independent rein cues. The gag cheek can assist with elevating the head and shoulders when used with appropriate rein guidance, and the ported design supports a position that encourages light collection.
Intended use: This bit is suited for horses with a softer mouth or for riders seeking a subtle upward carriage and collection through coordinated rein work. Proper fit, consistent training cues, and monitoring the horse’s comfort are essential for effective use.
