713 SHARON CAMARILLO SHORT LIFTERA great option to aid the rider in aligning the horses body. The loose mouthpiece and independent shanks makes this bit an excellent transition bit from the ring snaffle to the leverage bit and an excellent choice for pasture or trail riding. The mouthpiece is made of sweet iron which will naturally rust into a light patina. The rust creates a sweet taste for the horse and makes the bit more acceptable and increases salivation for a supple mouth.
