Its combination of lift and leverage provides a clearer signal when asking a horse to rate, collect or rebalance, while still allowing good lateral feel for guiding and shaping the horse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"568\" data-end=\"942\"\u003eThe 5.25” three-piece twisted mouthpiece with dogbone and cricket provides a more defined feel than a smooth mouthpiece, creating clearer pressure across the tongue and bars for a quicker response. The dogbone centre allows independent movement through the mouthpiece, while the cricket encourages tongue movement and salivation, helping promote softness and bit acceptance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"944\" data-end=\"1200\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eA versatile performance bit well suited to barrel racing, training and everyday tuning, the Dodge is a great option for horses that tend to get heavy in the bridle or need a little more encouragement to stay light, responsive and elevated through the turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 15px; font-weight: 400;\"\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend this bit to be used with bit guards and  a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/dustybutts.com\/search?q=curb+chain\u0026amp;options%5Bprefix%5D=last\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003ecurb chain\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \/ \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/dustybutts.com\/collections\/bit-guards-curb-straps-curb-chains?_pos=1\u0026amp;_psq=curb+chain\u0026amp;_ss=e\u0026amp;_v=1.0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003ecurb strap\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMouthpiece: 5.25” Two-Piece Twisted\u003cbr\u003eCheek Piece: 6” Lifter..\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dustybutts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44889475842091,"sku":null,"price":190.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/0836\/5355\/files\/B1B0D5A1-C157-45CF-998A-568A9C7ADB87.jpg?v=1787197183","url":"https:\/\/dustybutts.com\/products\/dustybutts-dodge-three-piece-smooth-gag-bit-with-cricket-copy","provider":"Dustybutts Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
