The 6” cheek has a 2 1/2” purchase and a 3 1/2” shank. This ratio (the difference in the length of the purchase and shank) and the swept back design of the shank make this a mild cheek. A slight step up from the snaffle. The 5 1/8" mouthpiece is inlaid with copper to stimulate salivation, 3/8” in diameter, and curved for soft, evenly distributed pressure. Applies pressure to the chin, bars, and corners of the mouth. Gives added pressure to the tongue for more feel.

BIT TIPS:
- If a curb strap is too tight, the bit will be more severe in the horse's mouth. General rule: make sure you can slide two fingers between the curb and the bottom jaw for adequate spacing.
- With a long purchase, the bit will act quicker in a horse's mouth when the rider pulls the reins. With a shorter purchase, the bit is slower to react.
- A curb used on a bit that has rings on the ends is there to hold the bit and reins together. It applies zero pressure to the jaw.
