Elevate your communication and refine your horse's performance with the Professional's Choice Equisential Swept Back Seven Shank Bit. Specifically engineered for Western performance disciplines such as barrel racing, reining, and precision trail riding, this leverage bit is designed to provide clear signals and an instant reward. The "Seven" in its name refers to the distinctive profile of the shank, a shape favored by professionals for its superior balance and weight distribution.

The standout feature of this Western horse bit is the 8-inch swept-back shank design combined with a weighted release mechanism. By strategically placing weight behind the mouthpiece, the bit is engineered to drop and disengage the moment you soften your reins. This provides the "instant reward" essential for developing a soft, responsive mouth, making it an excellent transition bit for horses moving out of a snaffle or for tuning up seasoned athletes.
