The signature iron wrapped lifesaver mouthpiece lies comfortably across the horses tongue and is a great resource for any timed event competitor or rider that enjoys both trail and arena riding. The 1" draw design diffuses the lip, tongue, and bar pressure, while the 7" shank combines curb pressure for increased leverage for stopping control and supple turns. Start with a two-finger curb adjustment and re-adjust according to the desired feel. Sharon prefers a flat chain curb strap which is shown as an option when ordering the bit.
