7 Shanks

8"

Please Read Before Selecting Your Options:
Each 7 Shank is available in different styles — plain or silver-mounted, and with either a solid mouthpiece or a jointed/moving mouthpiece such as corrections, dog bones, or snaffles.

If you’re wanting a mounted or unmounted 7 Shank with a solid mouthpiece, select one of the 7 Solid Mouthpiece options.
If you prefer a jointed or moving mouthpiece, select one of the mounted or unmounted 7 Correction and Jointed Mouthpiece options.

Some mouthpieces may not have a photo example for every variation option. If you have any questions regarding a bit, please don't be afraid to give us a call!

7 Shank measures 8″ from the top of the bridle ring to the bottom of the rein ring. Its bold, sweeping “7” shape adds increased leverage and poll pressure, helping the rider achieve more lift, rate, and collection. The length and curve of the shank create a clear signal path, allowing the horse to respond quickly to subtle cues while maintaining balance and frame. This design is ideal for stronger, more seasoned horses that need added respect and responsiveness without sacrificing feel.

Crafted from high-quality steel, this bit is designed to naturally patina and rust over time when exposed to humidity, saliva, or water. The rusting process is intentional—it encourages salivation and relaxation in the horse’s mouth and reflects the traditional craftsmanship of bit making.

The 7 Shank is highly versatile and can be paired with any of our mouthpieces!
