DC Mercedes

Danyelle’s thoughts:

The Mercedes is a small step up from the Glider. It has a longer shank, but a smooth sliding action that really helps achieve collection without offending the horse. I’ve watched top cutters use this bit for schooling and warming up. It can easily be used with a port of any form or with any typical barrel racing mouthpieces.

I really like this bit with a chain and a low hinge port mouth. I also have it in a large smooth bumpy for use on young horses. The type of curb strap used will change the severity of it; I generally use a leather curb.
