Sweet iron is designed to oxidize, which creates a sweet taste that horses enjoy. This process encourages salivation and leads to a more relaxed, "soft" mouth during your ride.Q: How does this bit help with "lifting" my horse's shoulders?A: The unique gag action combined with the 8.75” shank creates leverage that applies pressure to the poll and mouth simultaneously. This encourages the horse to elevate their front end and engage their hindquarters, which is essential for maintaining balance during tight turns in barrel racing.Q: Is this bit suitable for daily training or just competition?A: While it excels in high-speed competition, the PC Lifter Gag Snaffle is an excellent training tool for horses that need a reminder to stay off their front end and maintain a collected frame during daily schooling.Item Number/SKU: PCB-930
