Achieve the ultimate shoulder lift and refined communication with the Brittany Pozzi Three Piece Smooth Bit, engineered to bridge the gap between comfort and high-stakes performance. Whether you are transitioning a young prospect or sharpening a seasoned barrel horse, this bit provides the lateral flexibility and "pick up" needed for precise, winning maneuvers.

Crafted by Professional’s Choice in collaboration with World Champion Brittany Pozzi, this bit features a sophisticated three-piece dog-bone mouthpiece that eliminates the harsh "nutcracker" effect common in standard snaffles. The technical integration of sweet iron and a copper roller works in harmony with your horse's natural physiology, promoting relaxation and a supple mouth through encouraged salivation and taste.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Three-Piece Dog-Bone Mouthpiece: Provides independent lateral control and a floating center link that distributes pressure evenly across the tongue and bars.
• Sweet Iron Material: Intentionally designed to rust upon contact with moisture, creating a sweet taste that increases bit acceptance and salivation.
• Integrated Copper Roller: Keeps busy-mouthed horses engaged and relaxed, fostering a softer and more responsive connection to the rider's hands.
• Short Gag Action: Delivers targeted poll pressure and crucial shoulder lift, allowing your horse to gather effectively and break at the poll during tight turns.
• Precision Sizing: Features a standard 5.5-inch mouthpiece width designed to fit most average-sized performance horses comfortably.
• Versatile Leverage Options: Available in a 6.5-inch medium shank for moderate control or an 8.25-inch long shank for maximum "shut down" and leverage.
• Professional Grade Durability: Built with premium materials to withstand the daily rigors of training and the high-intensity demands of the rodeo arena.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is this bit appropriate for a horse transitioning out of a basic O-ring snaffle?
A: Yes, this is an exceptional "step-up" bit. It provides the clear communication of a leverage bit while maintaining a gentle, familiar feel in the mouth, making it perfect for colts and sensitive horses.

Q: Which shank length should I choose for my horse?
A: The 6.5" medium shank is ideal for sensitive horses or those needing moderate lift. The 8.25" long shank is best for seasoned, hard-running horses that require more significant leverage to collect and turn at high speeds.

Q: Why is the mouthpiece changing color or showing rust?
A: This is a premium feature of the sweet iron construction. The oxidation creates a sweet flavor that horses find highly palatable, which encourages a softer, more supple mouth and better overall responsiveness.
