The Reinsman Argentine Twisted Wire Sweet and Sour Snaffle Shank Bit features 6 inch stainless steel cheek shanks that have always been a great choice and continues to be highly popular. This stage B shank bit is all about transition, with the introduction of leverage and curb pressure. The only thing that can improve upon this age-tested design is Reinsman’s Sweet & Sour mouthpiece! Like a green apple dipped in molasses, the combination of copper and sweet iron on the 3/8 inch mouthpiece are very appealing to the horse, with the added bonus of increased salivation which relaxes the horse’s jaw and promotes a supple mouth response. The twised wire sweet and sour snaffle mouthpiece features a forward curve called Mullen relief, which helps distribute pressure evenly across the bars and tongue. Adding a leather, nylon, or biothane curb strap to the top ring where the headstall is fastened is recommended to prevent the bit from rotating.  Don’t forget to shop our curb strap collection here at NRS to pair with your new bit!  The tear drop rings at the bottom of the shanks make it easy to attach a variety of reins for any discipline.

Reinsman Bit Stages

Stage A= These bits are great for starting horses, training, or maintaining steady contact. Aspects include direct reining, non-leverage Loose Rings and Dee Rings with mouthpiece diameters 5/16” and over.

Stage B =Moving from Direct Reining to Neck Reining? Stage B is all about transition, with the introduction of leverage and curb pressure. Short Shanked bits and Half-Gags comprise Stage B.

Stage C =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

Stage D =Stage D is about refinement, subtle cues and quick communication. Characteristics include increased leverage, more sophisticated mouthpieces, and may also incorporate higher ports.

Stage E =When your horse enters Stage E – he’s asking for some time with the Pros. Here tiny twists, very high ports, and highly complex mouthpieces are key components
