What makes this bit special? Designed by Ken McNabb, this stainless steel lifter bit uniquely applies an even ratio of pressure to the horse’s mouth without needing to use any leverage, making it the perfect transition bit from a snaffle. Mimicking a similar signal to a snaffle, this bit is not too strong and also features football-shaped bit attachments to prevent any pinching. Partnering the cheek and 3-piece lifesaver mouth design, this bit offers the perfect combination for achieving collection, quick release, and lateral flexion. “The lifter bit has become one of my all-time favorite bits. Assembled, the amount of poll pressure applied to the headstall makes it so much easier to develop a great headset.” Ken McNabb. 7" cheeks, 5 1/4" 3-piece lifesaver mouth with copper roller.

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.
