The Pickup Bit is available in both long and short shank versions and is Carol’s next step up in control. Works well for obtaining shoulder control on seasoned horses that need help keeping their shoulder lifted going into the turns. Offers increased shoulder control and rate when needed. Horses that are harder mouthed usually respond well to the Pickup bit when lighter gag bits are not enough. Available in short and long shanks.

This mouthpiece offers similar benefits of the twisted wire snaffle with added flex and bend. Brittany PozziNOTE: This bit will rust when exposed to moisture. This creates a sweet taste in the horses mouth and promotes salivation. In the Lifter bits there are two different shanks, each with four different mouthpieces. The medium measures 6 _ and the long measures 8 _. This gives the rider lots of different options to choose from. These bits are for all different types of horses, from the light horse that needs help on the back side or the hard runner that needs help shutting down for the turn. These bits are created to help you pick up your horses shoulder while going into turn and then helping them on the back side of the turn. The lifter also gives good elevation of your horses front end while engaging the hind quarter for the turn. If you are having trouble getting your horse to break at the poll and gather for the barrel this will help you accomplish that goal. Mouth: 5 1/2" Brittany Pozzi

The combination is a great transition from the o-ring. The combo uses the rope nose and gag to simultaneously ask the horse to break at the pole and give you more leverage. I like this bit for training, tuning, and competing. Mouth: 5 1/2" Rings: 3" Brittany Pozzi

The Yukon has more purchase than a traditional shorter shanked bit. This encourages ideal break at the poll while the shorter shank allows the bit to be more forgiving and encourage lateral movement. The dog bone mouthpiece applies more pressure to the outside of the bars providing more flex and bend than a traditional two-piece snaffle. This dog bone also has coper rollers in the middle, which is a great soothing tool for an anxious horse.
