• Twisted wire sides for more defined bar contact
• Jointed dogbone center for independent side movement and clean lateral control
• Copper rollers promote salivation, acceptance, and a quieter mouth
• S cheek (7 ½") for progressive leverage with a smooth pickup and release
• Best in experienced hands or for horses that lean on a smooth mouthpiece

The S cheek gives a smooth, rolling signal with progressive leverage. It picks up clean, stays balanced in the hand, and resets without getting heavy. This design provides a steady, readable feel while keeping signals consistent through rate and collection.

The twisted wire dogbone mouthpiece adds definition on the bars for horses that tend to lean, while the jointed center allows each side to move independently for clearer lateral cues and less palate pinch than a single joint. Copper rollers at the center encourage moisture and acceptance, helping horses stay softer and more responsive while you shape bend and balance. Best suited for experienced hands, this bit gives extra respect without sacrificing clarity.
