Stage C bits are built for riders and horses who love neck reining. Horses who respond well to poll pressure are in Stage C. Features include solid mouthpieces and cheek attachments, and swivel cheeks with jointed mouthpieces or low to medium ports.
The MB 43HP does not rotate onto the tongue but instead sits solidly across the bars and lips of the horse’s mouth. The port is narrower than a Level 3 mouthpiece, but still offers room for the horse’s tongue to pass under the bit.
This bit is ideal for horses with a good mouth and neck reins consistently. Sweet iron is a preferred mouth piece since it naturally rusts to a light patina to create a sweet taste for the horse, A favorite among trail riders, cutters, and reiners,
Very popular gag shank with cheeks that allows the mouthpiece to move forward when reins are pulled to give the horse time to think before the curb chain and mouthpiece tighten. Excellent mouthpiece for horses who need a little more control.
