This western seven shank three-piece copper link bit is a piece of horse tack designed to provide the rider with greater control over their horse's movements. This type of bit is ideal for more experienced riders as it offers a high level of precision and responsiveness. The seven-shank design allows the rider to adjust the pressure on the horse's mouth with great accuracy and has quite a bit of weight behind the mouthpiece.
The three-piece copper link applies more pressure to the outside of the bars, encouraging more flex and bend than a traditional two-piece snaffle. It provides a comfortable fit for the horse and the copper roller is also beneficial as it encourages salivation, which helps to keep the horse's mouth supple and responsive. This bit is a popular choice among western riders who are looking for a reliable and effective means of controlling their horse's movements.
