The Argentine cheek gives a quick pickup, mild leverage, and an easy reset—light in the hand with clear, direct signals. This allows riders to communicate precise cues without adding heaviness, making it suitable for refined, finished horses.
The cathedral spade port is a deliberate, advanced mouthpiece that provides pronounced tongue relief with a tall, defined throat. When the rein is engaged, the port delivers vertical lift and encourages collection while maintaining even bar contact. This bit is best suited for finished horses that go light in the face and for riders who prefer a precise, responsive feel.
