Highlights

Copper Lozenge Center: Stimulates salivation and "mouthing," which keeps the horse’s mouth soft and responsive compared to standard stainless steel joints.
16mm Mouthpiece Thickness: Offers a refined, medium-thin width that provides effective communication and control without being overly sharp.
Two-Ring Leverage Versatility: Effortlessly switch between the main ring for snaffle action and the lower ring for increased poll pressure during jumping or cross-country.
Proportionate Cheek Heights: Features scaled sizing with 120mm cheeks for 4.5" and 5" bits, and 145mm cheeks for 5.5" and 6" bits to ensure a balanced look and feel.
Premium Stainless Steel Construction: Crafted for longevity with a rust-resistant, tasteless finish that is easy to maintain and built for daily use.
Pinch-Prevention Design: The lozenge link removes the "nutcracker" action of a single joint, providing a more comfortable fit across the tongue and bars.

Description

Achieve the perfect balance of refined control and gentle communication during high-energy jumping or cross-country sessions. This versatile bit ensures your horse remains soft and responsive while providing the necessary leverage for precision when it matters most.Expertly engineered from premium stainless steel with a high-quality copper lozenge, the Shires #528 is designed for durability and effectiveness. The 16mm mouthpiece offers a medium-thin profile that provides clear signals without the harshness of a thinner bit, making it a favorite for riders seeking a "braking" bit that maintains a soft, moist mouth through stimulated salivation.Key Features & Specifications:Frequently Asked Questions:Q: Is this bit legal for Dressage competitions?A: No, the Shires Two Ring Gag is specifically designed for disciplines like Show Jumping and Cross-Country where extra leverage is required; it is not legal for the dressage phase of competition.Q: What size should I order to ensure the best fit?A: Because the loose ring action can cause pinching if the fit is too snug, many riders find success by sizing up 0.25" to 0.5" from their horse's standard bit size to ensure maximum comfort.Item Number/SKU: 528S/STEEL4.5
