Bob Avila Hi Port Highpoint Shank Bit

This Bob Avila bit is the one we've always used with Harley. It's ideal for sensitive horses. It's not overly heavy, yet it has a long shank for excellent leverage. The long shank combined with the high port gives a great feel without weighing down your horse's head. With a 2 - inch port, a 5 - inch mouth, and 8 - inch cheeks, it's just the right size. At all events, you need your horse to be very responsive to the bit without being afraid, and this bit does exactly that. It's highly workable and suitable for a variety of horses. Size: 5

How to use: Simply place the bit in your horse's mouth with the shanks on either side. Make sure it fits comfortably. When riding, use gentle reins to communicate with your horse, taking advantage of the bit's leverage. Notice how your horse responds and adjust your movements accordingly. Attention: Check the fit of the bit regularly. If your horse seems uncomfortable or shows signs of irritation, it might be that the bit isn't fitting right. Don't use excessive force on the reins as it could scare or hurt your horse. Maintenance: After each use, clean the bit with a soft brush and warm water to remove dirt and debris. You can dry it with a clean cloth. Periodically, you can apply a bit of leather or metal conditioner to keep it in good condition, depending on the material of the bit.
