	I had a friend who tried one with her mare who dropped her shoulder pretty bad. It was a quick fix and she got a few runs out of her with it but didn't work for long and the mare went to hitting again. Here is link to a picture if you have facebook: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1242696729078379&set=a.95284...

The mechanics on it are more so it doesn't jerk on the horses moving when you touch it like a snaffle. It's supposed to slide

	You could not pay me to use a shank that long with a curb stocking stuffer the cheek. The reason the mare stated above stopped dropping shoulders for a while is because the gag affect is what causes "lift" In a horse. Then she learned how to evade it again... Something that can be fixed by retraining through a snaffle. I'm a firm believer that more "intense bits" are never the solution, they're an excuse. ETA I just read this after typing it on my phone and realize it said "curb stocking stuffer" and laughed too hard so now I can't delete it. Edited by achildres 2016-02-17 5:00 PM

Whack and Roll Posts: 6342 Location: NE Texas	Three 4 Luck - 2016-02-17 3:42 PM How is that different from a Jarrett? It has more curve down through the bottom of the shank I think. I don't have one...gag bits aren't my thing, but I have a friend that has every gag bit made and she had both.

I wonder how that changes the action? Maybe slows down the bite a little? I'm not a big gag fan either since I prefer my horses to be in the bridle. Different strokes for different folks tho...

Mare in my profile picture would be straight as a board if she didn't have gag action. This looks like it would be too much for her, but I like the idea of it.
