Hello, I got a short shank low port bit for my new horse because her tongue is so big it bulges out the side of her teeth quite a bit and I wanted to give her tongue relief. However, I am training on the barrel pattern and wondering if it is okay to use that bit? Do any of you run in low ports?
Depends on the design of the rest of the bit. If you've got "movement" in the bit, then it's okay for the direct reining barrel racing requires. If it is totally solid bit, then that is not a good choice because that's intended for neck reining and more advanced horses.
Can you post a picture of what you haave?
Each side moves independently. :)
