The 7-1/2-inch cheek style is next in the lineup. Extremely versatile, this bit can be used for training drills, pleasure riding, or competition. This cheek has a 2-1/2-inch purchase with a 5-inch shank. The shank is swept back, like the 6-inch model, but to a lesser degree, which offers more leverage and control. When properly adjusted, it is still considered a mild cheek, but one with plenty of leverage for control at increased speeds. The Chain has a stainless steel cheek with an inlaid copper chain mouthpiece. Good tool for reiterating bend and flex. Mild and pinch less sweet iron mouthpiece is comfortable, and applies even pressure to the corners of the mouth and tongue.

The Combination Bit is a great transition from the O-Ring. It uses the rope nose and gag to simultaneously ask the horse to break at the poll and give the rider more leverage. Brittany likes to use this bit for training, tuning, and competing. The chain mouthpiece is very forgiving while also being slower to engage and to release. It is a great for novice hands or a sensitive horse.

The CG bit is one of the first bits Carol Goosetree designed. She developed this bit especially for her champion mount -inch Dobre-inch, in the late seventies. The chain snaffle mouthpiece and short gag action makes this bit soft and forgiving in a horse's mouth. Horses tend to feel comfortable in this bit and show a lot of response without overreacting. It helps add control in the turns, and support and correct an overly bendy horse. The CGs weighted shanks add more feel and help encourage a proper headset.

The unique design of this bit offers direct contact similar to a ring snaffle with the shoulder elevation of a gag and the collection from a curb strap. This is a great training or transition bit. The gag movement allows the horse to give at the poll before the curb comes into effect. All of these bits should be adjusted to fit with one wrinkle in the horse's mouth and a loose curb strap to allow 2-3 fingers. This mouthpiece is often misrepresented, but is actually a very mild and useful training tool. The chain conforms to the shape of the horse's mouth, applying mild tongue and bar pressure. This mouthpiece works well on horses in any discipline.

This 7 ½” double gag is a great competition bit and the perfect step up from an O-ring snaffle. The straight gag allows for a fluid lift in the shoulder, but also provides a faster reaction than other gags. The 5 1/8” chain mouthpiece encourages significant bend in the horse’s body, however, as it is mild it lengthens the reaction time between horse and rider.
