This is a brand new old stock original Paul Garcia stainless steel loose shank show bit with a Cathedral port mouthpiece. Paul Garcia bits are admired for their incredible balance, feel, and the stylishness of their designs. The bit features stainless steel loose cheek shanks mounted with engraved arrow shaped bars. The Cathedral port mouthpiece offers the maximum in tongue relief and the rotation of the mouthpiece will alert your horse as soon as you pick up the reins. The bit is unmarked, however I purchased this from a seller who sold me other new marked Paul Garcia bits and this particular bit is frequently sold on other sites under his name.
Used as either a signal or leverage bit, this traditional high port Cathedral mouthpiece provides a lot of feel back into the rider's hand. The slightly open port adds more tongue relief and the sweet iron mouthpiece encourages salivation for a soft mouth.
This bit has a long 3 inch purchase for fast response and excellent lift for control of the shoulders and stabilization of the front end. The shanks measure 8 inches long and the mouthpiece measures 5 inches wide by 3/8 inch in diameter with a 3-3/4 inch high by 2-1/4 inch wide port. This bit features a 2.67 to 1 leverage ratio and weighs 1 pound 6 ounces for great feel and response.
This is a wonderful, well balanced bit and will make a great addition to your show bit collection and will look great in any show ring setting. Don't miss out on the chance to add this rare Paul Garcia loose shank Cathedral bit to your training and show bit collection.
