02-S - Solid Mouthpieces

02-S Shank – 7.5″ (Solid mouthpieces)

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!

The 02-S Shank measures 7.5″ from the top of the bridle ring to the bottom of the rein rings. Crafted from high-quality steel, it's small "S" shape gives added poll pressure and provides the rider with increased leverage allowing for more refined communication and control over the horse, especially in situations requiring subtle cues. The 02-S, with its curve, can also create a quicker release of pressure when the reins are released. The rein rings swoop back slightly to the horse, but not by much, making it have a quicker action time compared to the 65 Shank.

This shank is designed to naturally patina and rust over time when exposed to humidity, saliva, or water. The rusting process is intentional, as it encourages salivation and relaxation in the horse’s mouth and is the traditional way of bit making.

The 02-S Shank is highly versatile and can be paired with any of our mouthpieces! Please select your preferred mouthpiece variant from the options listed with this product.
