Sonora Ball 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 really 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 face and the riders hand, giving a horse time to understand what the rider is asking it to do.  The slider shanks come with a horizontal bottom ring that adds to the lateral pull. Helps with more leverage than the 4.5, this shank is 5.5.

This mouthpiece is a broad-spectrum correction.  It has a 3/8" bar with a 90* transition from port to bar, the ball softens the transition.  It fits a lot of horses.  It's our most popular barrel horse mouthpiece, it has had tremendous success in the Rope horse industry along with Reiners and Cutters.  Does not reach the roof of their mouth.  If you're looking for a correctional that won't wear out and fits a multitude of horses, this is it.
