This cathedral bit is a specialized piece of horse riding equipment specifically designed for Western riding disciplines. It’s used in the horse's mouth to help the rider control and communicate with the horse. This particular bit is crafted with seven shanks that allow for greater leverage and control, making it ideal for more experienced riders who need a bit with a bit more "bite."
The bit features a cathedral port, which is a raised section in the middle of the mouthpiece that allows more room for the horse's tongue and helps to reduce pressure on the horse's bars. The spoon shape of the mouthpiece also helps to distribute pressure more evenly across the horse's mouth, reducing discomfort and helping the horse to relax and respond to the rider's cues.
Overall, this western Seven Shank Cathedral Port Spoon Bit is a high-quality piece of equipment that can help riders to communicate more effectively with their horses, especially in Western riding disciplines such as reining, cutting, and western pleasure.
