{"product_id":"dennis-moreland-7-aluminum-shanked-bit","title":"Dennis Moreland - 7″ Aluminum Shanked Bit","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 7″ shanks on this bit are made of aluminum which makes it lighter weight than a steel bit. It’s designed so the junction at the mouthpiece and shanks will never pinch a horse. This bit is available with your choice of 4 mouthpieces, all 5 1\/8 inches wide (see picture). The #0 mouthpiece is made of soft rubber. All others are made of steel with inlaid copper strips to promote salivation. The #1 Correction mouthpiece and the #1W Solid Port mouthpiece are 3\/8 inch in diameter, the #2B Medium Port mouthpiece is 7\/16 inch in diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit comes with the \u003ca title=\"#51 3\/8 inch Latigo Leather Bit Hobble\" href=\"https:\/\/dmtack.com\/products\/bh51-38%e2%80%b3-latigo-leather-bit-hobble\/\"\u003e#51 3\/8 inch Latigo Leather Bit Hobble\u003c\/a\u003e with hand braided rawhide keepers, shown here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it works:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 7″ Aluminum Shank Bit is milder than a steel bit because of its light weight and works well to introduce your colt to a shanked bit from a snaffle or hackamore. This bit allows a soft touch to pull a colt around to teach him to turn and maneuver in a shanked bit. It also works well on many older, finished horses and helps keep them relaxed and light in the face.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dennis Moreland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46828631720125,"sku":null,"price":299.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0537\/1199\/5069\/files\/Screenshot_28-5-2026_12338_dmtack.com.jpg?v=1779991899","url":"https:\/\/kklivestock.com\/products\/dennis-moreland-7-aluminum-shanked-bit","provider":"K\u0026K Livestock Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
