0113-5000 JOSEY-MITCHELL LONG GO AROUND 3-PIECE

Introducing the 0113-5000 Josey-Mitchell Long Go Around 3-Piece, with a mouthpiece combination engineered to allow for a moist mouth, with a slight bite for the horse that gets heavy on the bridle, and alleviates a potential nutcracker effect. Longer shanks offer increased leverage. Great bit for a seasoned athlete.

IDEAL FOR:
• People who need additional help staying quick and packaged up through turns.
• People looking to give their horse more response time in timed events.
• A horse that is a seasoned competitor that just needs refinement and subtle cues.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT:
• The three-piece mouthpiece offers more comfort as it alleviates the potential nutcracker effect on the jaw.
• The copper dogbone promotes salivation for a more soft, supple mouth.
• The twisted wire provides a slight “bite” for the horse who is prone to getting heavy on the bridle.
• 2" Gag action on the bit provides pre-signals to the horse before pressure is applied.

HELPFUL TIPS:
• Applies pressure to the tongue and bars when pressure is applied to the reins.
• Curb chain tightness allows for the customization of pressure.
• Start loose and increase tightness for additional control or increased signaling.
• This bit falls in our Stage E category; Stage E bits are all about the pros! In this stage, we see tiny twists, very high ports, complex mouthpieces, and increased leverage.

MORE DETAILS:
• All leverage bits should be used with a curb chain to function correctly. Without a curb chain, a shanked bit can rotate back toward the rider. Curb chains should stop the shank’s rotation at approximately 45 degrees.
• Cheeks are made of medical-grade stainless steel to prevent rust and guarantee longevity.
• Each bit is closely inspected by a team of expert craftsmen who pride themselves on the quality of their workmanship.
• 8 1/2" Cheek
