8023U - Tranz 16mm Diameter Universal Cheeks

 This bit has been the perfect transfer for my 18hh 4 year old shire horse. He started on the Neue Schule Tranz Angled Lozenge Full Cheek (as he had issues turning being a youngster) but then started to push through. Other aides were concentrated on but he still refused to slow down. Other bits were tried and he hated them i.e. gag, pelham. It was only when I found this Universal in 6 1/4" he is now working well with the very lightest of touch. I would recommend this bit as it gives you many options of control from the lightest to the bottom hole or curb chain which I use when he's in an exciting situation. Also 'Ben' started to refuse the other bits but because of the warm metal he now accepts which is a godsend when you've got a tall horse who can lift his head VERY high.
