catie93 - 2015-10-29 12:26 PM Im currently running my open mare in a Ty Mitchell short shank gag with no curb chain. Shes very light and be picky when it comes to bits. This year she has gotten a lot stronger and i feel like i need something with a bit more bite. I dont need anything aggressive, no long shanks. just something to help lift the shoulder a bit more and make our turns snappier, I feel like we are loosing time around the barrels. I was thinking about some kind of short shank lifter with no gag, or maybe a short shank ed wright. But ive never rode with these bits and dont know what they feel like. Help!!
