The Mikmar Short Shank is popular worldwide for all English
and Western disciplines as well as for driving.  The
Mikmar Short Shank Bit operates through both direct action and
leverage, using a leather curb strap or curb chain, and also
offers the unique Mikmar mouthpiece.
 Mikmar
Short-Shank Bit with Low Port Mouthpiece
The Mikmar Low Port Mouthpiece offers the same design as the
standard Mikmar Bit, but offers a lower port of 3/4 inch in
height. It provides less palate pressure than our Standard
Mouthpiece.
 Mikmar
Short-Shank Bit with Curved Low Port Mouthpiece
The Mikmar Curved Low Port Mouthpiece offers the same design
as the standard mouthpiece, but provides tongue relief, as the
mouthpiece contours around the tongue. It provides less palate
pressure.
“The Short Shank works well for
a lot of
different types of horses. On one horse, we tried every bit
you could imagine to change his balance, and nothing seemed
to work until the Mikmar Short Shank.”
- Kevin Babington
The Mikmar Short Shank provides less leverage than the Mikmar
Combination Bit and does not have the nose rope. The Mikmar
Short Shank Bit offers two areas for rein placement on the cheek
piece: the upper rein slot giving you more direct pressure,
similar to that of a Snaffle, and the lower rein slot giving
you the function of a leverage bit, applying pressure to the
mouth (bars and tongue), chin and poll areas, to encourage vertical
flexion. The Mikmar Short Shank is designed to be used with
double reins or a single rein alone, or a single rein with a
converter. The Mikmar Short Shank provides the rider excellent
communication and versatility.
