Lifter Bits designed primarily for horses that have a tendency to drop their shoulder in turns. The longer shank and mouthpiece port offers the rider leverage in helping to elevate the shoulder and maintain a balanced position in the horse's body. It is a correction bit, it should be used on a horse that is well into the shank bridle. The mouthpiece should be adjusted where it meets the corners of the horse's mouth and creates a slight wrinkle. The two fingers whould be between the chin and curb strap. The two most important things on teaching a horse before anything else is to break at the poll and raise his shoulders. The bit is the tool will be used to communicate with the horse. The clearer the signal and the more comfortable the bit, the less confusion the horse is going to experience and the faster he is going to learn.
