The S cheek gives a smooth, rolling signal with progressive leverage. It picks up clean, stays balanced in the hand, and resets without getting heavy. This design provides a steady, readable feel while keeping signals consistent through rate and collection.

The twisted wire dogbone mouthpiece adds definition on the bars for horses that tend to lean, while the jointed center allows each side to move independently for clearer lateral cues and less palate pinch than a single joint. Copper rollers at the center encourage moisture and acceptance, helping horses stay softer and more responsive while you shape bend and balance. Best suited for experienced hands, this bit gives extra respect without sacrificing clarity.
