Twisted Wire

The mechanics of the rope gag bit elevate the horse’s nose which causes the withers to follow. As the rider applies more pressure, it causes a break in the poll. The draw cheek and slide is designed to specifically create lift in the front end enabling the horse’s back end to drive underneath. The rope is a 5/16" quality lariat rope designed for durability.

The 7 Shank has quite a bit of weight behind the mouthpiece, which allows a quick release from the rider’s hands.  This is an excellent transition bit out of an O-ring or D-ring.  The square port is more aggressive than the traditional rounded port because you are working off the corners of the mouth.  The twisted bar pieces are more aggressive.

The o-ring is a great bit to start colts in and show them the basics of barrel racing. The twisted wire gives you good control and makes it easier to direct a young horse. The large connection in the center of the snaffle keeps the bit from locking up keeping the horse comfortable. The weight of the rings also makes the bit very balanced. This is a nice bit to ride from breaking horses to competing in the arena; this bit is a must in every horsemans tack room. Brittany Pozzi

Increased gag action makes our 0118-2000 Josey-Mitchell Side Pull bit less intimidating while still providing enough leverage to increase shoulder control and balance. The twisted wire dogbone mouthpiece offers additional leverage to the corners of the mouth to provide a light, responsive feel so the rider can reframe and rebalance a horse who tends to lean on the bridle. Three-piece bits are great options for the rider who wants to avoid the potential of the nutcracker effect.
