Designed to be an easy transition from a snaffle to a leverage bit, the 4 1/2" shanks are short to promote the introduction of leverage, while the three-piece sweet iron and copper twisted mouth adds bite as well as promotes salivation and aids in the prevention of the nutcracker effect.
Upon learning to ride correctly in a snaffle bit, the Reinsman Stoney Crescent Moon is the best bit on the market for a 2 or 3-year-old horse in training that is ready to step up. The shape of the shanks and the small gag work together to provide a seamless transition for a young horse just beginning to adjust to the feel of leverage in the training process. The 437 is ideal for a stronger horse that needs the added bite of a twisted wire mouthpiece. Choose this bit for colts, seasoned horses, or just leisure riding.
