2'' Cheek | 3” Shank | 5 ½” Mouth

This shorter purchase, Smooth Lifesaver Snaffle is an excellent first step out of the snaffle. The Lifesaver is designed to lay with contact across the horses tongue for comfort and control. The length of shank introduces both curb pressure and leverage. Though not necessarily designed for a competition bit, it is a positive introduction to move up into bits designed to offer more control at speed. A leather curb is suggested for introduction, transitioning to a flat chain as confidence is established.
