This bit features a 6" Cheek. It is a transition bit designed to further educate a horse from the direct control offered by the ring snaffle to the indirect and leveraged control offered by the shank bit. This Pelham is designed for initital use with four reins to help bridle a young horse then to "bit connectors" before graduating to a single rein. The swivel shank offers a slight advantage for lateral control. Special Order bit only available in the Sharon Camarillo store.
