Product Details
Forged and Finished by Hand!
- 5" mouth with slow twist bars provide more defined bar contact without the severity of a fast twist.
- Hinged correction center allows independent side action for lateral precision and vertical lift.
- 6 1/2" Argentine cheek s delivers light leverage, quick pickup, and a clean reset.
- Moderate to firm feel suited for tuned horses and confident, experienced hands.
- Balanced construction with polished edges encourages acceptance and a consistent mouth feel.
The Argentine shank offers a quick, clean pickup with mild leverage and an easy reset, giving the rider light, direct communication without overwhelming pressure. Its balanced cheek design helps maintain clarity in the hand, making it a strong choice for horses that respond well to subtle curb assistance. The shorter shank keeps signals responsive and uncomplicated, supporting bend, rate, and alignment with a smooth, controlled feel.
The mouthpiece combines slow-twist bars with a hinged correction center, adding definition without harshness. The slow twist provides more contact on the bars for tuned responsiveness, while the hinged correction port allows each side to work independently. This improves shoulder control, vertical lift, and overall body shaping. The design encourages softness without sacrificing precision, making it ideal for horses requiring a little more refinement and accountability.
