Classic Equine 8'' Calvary Shank Ported

8'' Calvalry Cheek:

Designed for more control in finished performance horses. The angled shank causes immediate response. The purchase shank alignment ratio increase leverage, creating pressure to contact points. The inlaid copper mouthpiece with a higher port increases degree of contact with the palate, offering tongue relief with 1-1/2'' width.

Sweet iron will rust when it comes into contact with (air) humidity; the surface rust tastes sweet and naturally stimulates the saliva production. This will cause the horse to salivate more which in turn encourages better acceptance of the bit. The rusting process (oxidation) changes the colour of the bit to a brownish-grey.

A beginning of this oxidation process may already be visible when purchasing a new bit.
