This stainless steel Rutledge Roper Bit may look to be a strong bit but if used with a moderately snug curb, the bit/mouthpiece will continue to lay flat across the horse's mouth and bars. It has been used quite successfully with horses that have split or damaged tongues & bars The sweet iron low port mouth allows for salivation. This mouthpiece is 5" and the cheek is 7" stainless steel.  The unique floating shank allows curb to move from side to side for another totally new feel
