Robart™ Precision Spring Loaded Spoon Mouth

The mouthpiece is 5 inches wide with 7 3/8 inch cheeks, a 2 inch port, and 9/16 inch bit diameter. These dimensions make it a versatile size suitable for most horses, though you should always measure your horse's mouth to ensure proper fit and comfort.

Yes, this bit is excellent for both show ring and schooling use. Customers report using it successfully for Western Pleasure showing and training, and one reviewer specifically noted it's pretty enough for the show pen while being durable enough for regular training.

This bit features an internal bushing that allows each side to work independently, which enables you to work each side of the horse separately for exercises like lifting a shoulder or flexing. The spring-loaded design provides milder palate pressure compared to fixed spoon mouth bits, and the balanced design helps keep the horse's mouth calm and closed.

The bit features high gloss black stainless steel cheeks with German silver overlay and a stainless steel mouthpiece. The black steel will naturally rust over time, creating a beautiful aged look while the stainless steel components resist corrosion.

The stainless steel mouthpiece is low-maintenance and won't rust. The black steel cheeks will develop a natural aged patina over time, which is considered beautiful by many riders. Regular cleaning after use is recommended to keep the bit in good condition, and the stainless steel components will hold up well to frequent training and showing.

Yes, several customers report success with sensitive horses. One reviewer mentioned her finicky mare likes this bit, another noted her Arab took to it immediately, and a third shared that her horse loved it right away after transitioning to Western events. The balanced design and independent side movement seem to appeal to horses that are particular about their bits.

The port is 2 inches high, which provides palate relief without being overly severe. Customers appreciate that it's a moderate port—not a cathedral height but still substantial enough to provide the benefits of a spoon mouth design with added comfort.

This bit works well for Western events including Western Pleasure and other showing disciplines. Customers have successfully used it for showing and training, and one reviewer even reported success using it on a show mule, suggesting its versatility across different equine athletes and disciplines.
