Designed specially for barrel racers the Classic Equine Shoulder Holder Bit is a great bit for elevating a horses shoulder going into a turn. It also aids the riding in holding a horses shoulder steady maintaining a more optimal body position around a barrel.
Very fair and forgiving the mouthpiece of this bit is set forward on the shank which helps increase lift and lateral movement. This bit also helps to maintain forward motion on horses that anticipate a turn. The Shoulder Hoder is also a great tool for retaining man-made habits in aged horses.
