Leverage Position 2, Mouth Power 3, #1119-77-GS

Features 8 1/2" long “no-pinch” cheeks and a 5 1/8" roller-port mouthpiece with roller bars.

This is one of Les’s favorite bits for a bridle horse.  While the Mouth Power 3 bits can be a great help for a horse that’s lost respect for the bit they can also offer a whole new level of feel to an advanced rider on a well-trained bridle horse.  The way this bit is balanced and the mouthpiece lays on the tongue of the horse without taking up a lot of room in his mouth, offer you a level of communication that you’ll find in few other bits without going to a spade. 

Even for the hard-mouthed horse, this bit will have such a different feel to him that you’ll want to really back off and give him a chance to respond to it as you might be surprised what you get.  By the same token, this bit should only be used on a horse that is very familiar with leverage and has worn a ported bit for a while.

This bit is National Reined Cow Horse Association (NRCHA) show legal.

Leverage Position 2 bits give the classic-necked horse the performance advantages of perfect neck flexion and head position. Mouth Power 3 bits are considered high power mouthpieces and should only be used on horses that are very familiar with leverage and a port. They are good for putting some feel back into a “hard-mouthed” horse, and providing a higher level of communication to a classically trained bridle horse

Cheeks feature beautiful hand-engraved German silver overlay on a stainless steel base, and mouthpiece is made from sweet iron with copper roller and roller bars.
