Reinsman calls this a Stage B, or transitional, bit. That fits: it lets you use one rein at a time when your horse needs a clearer ask, while they get comfortable with you riding more off their neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA quick note on the name, because it trips people up. “Argentine” bits sometimes get called snaffles because of the jointed mouthpiece, but with 6\" shanks this one works as a leverage bit. When you pick up the reins, pressure goes to the mouth, the chin (through the curb strap), and a little to the poll. A two-piece mouth with shanks can feel softer and more familiar to a horse coming out of a snaffle than a solid-mouth curb, but it still asks more than a plain snaffle does. Light hands make all the difference here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe mouthpiece is sweet iron, which naturally develops a little rust over time. That’s normal, and lots of horses like the taste. It tends to encourage them to soften, mouth the bit, and stay wet in the mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Reinsman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: 402 Argentine 2-piece training bit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBit stage: Stage B (transitional, moving between direct and neck reining)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheeks: 6\" shanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMouth diameter: 7\/16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMouth material: sweet iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Consignment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50864859643990,"sku":"TAustin","price":40.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/8273\/7962\/files\/Reinsman-Argentine-Training-Bit-5.jpg?v=1793337981","url":"https:\/\/evolutiontack.ca\/products\/reinsman-argentine-training-bit-5","provider":"Evolution Equestrian Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
