Ozona V Correctional

Just like most of the bits we offer the slider concept came trying to address a need.  I was helping a friend who had been riding Cutting horses and moved over to riding Reiners.  She had very fast hands.  Fast hands and Reiners do not go together.  I simply put a port in a gag shank, hopefully, to help slow her hands down, but once I rode in it I could see a use for it in a lot of places.  The gag works as a shock absorber between the horses's face and the riders hands, giving the horse time to understand what the rider is asking it to do.  The slider shanks come with a horizontal bottom ring that adds lateral pull. 4.5 

I consider this the softest of our corrections. It has a 1/2". bar, more tongue relief than most corrections with a longer transition between the port and the bar.  Not tall enough to get to the roof of their mouth .  An excellent transition bit from the Ported D to a shanked bit.
