Elevate your seasoned performance horse to a new level of precision and responsiveness with a bit designed for ultimate collection and vertical lift. The Professional’s Choice Greeley Long Shank Twisted Wire Bit provides the sophisticated leverage needed to keep your horse round, light, and agile during the most demanding high-speed maneuvers.

Engineered for the discerning equestrian, this bit combines a 9 ¼-inch long shank gag action with a specialized limited-travel design to deliver immediate, crystal-clear communication. The intentional use of a 5 ⅛” twisted wire mouthpiece offers the necessary "bite" to lighten horses that have become heavy in the hand, encouraging them to break at the poll and shift their weight to the hindquarters for a more balanced and athletic frame.

Key Features & Specifications:

• 9 ¼” Long Shank Gag: Provides maximum leverage and superior vertical lift, allowing for nuanced cues before the curb pressure fully engages.
• Twisted Wire Mouthpiece: The 5 ⅛” two-piece design offers distinct communication and "bite," making it the ideal corrective tool for seasoned horses that need a more responsive feel.
• Limited Cheek Travel: Specifically engineered to limit how far the mouthpiece slides, ensuring a faster signal for immediate shoulder lift and postural correction.
• Natural Oxidation Process: The mouthpiece is designed to rust when exposed to moisture, creating a "sweet" taste that encourages salivation and a softer, more accepting mouth.
• Optimized for Speed Events: A premier choice for barrel racing and pole bending, helping riders maintain a round posture and prevent shoulder dropping in tight, high-speed turns.
• Enhanced Hind-End Engagement: Promotes superior collection and maneuverability, allowing your horse to engage their hindquarters effortlessly for fluid, powerful transitions.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is this bit suitable for a green or sensitive horse?
A: No, this bit is a high-leverage precision instrument designed strictly for finished, seasoned horses that require subtle refinement. Due to the "sharp" nature of the twisted wire, it is not recommended for green or highly sensitive horses.

Q: How should I adjust the curb strap and headstall for the best results?
A: For proper gag action, adjust the bit in the bridle to create one small wrinkle at the corners of the mouth. The curb strap should be adjusted loosely enough to allow 2 to 3 fingers of space, ensuring the gag lift functions before the leverage takes over.
