{"product_id":"argentine-shank-with-jointed-twisted-wire-dogbone","title":"Argentine Shank with Jointed Twisted Wire Dogbone","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Argentine cheek offers a quick pickup, mild leverage, and an easy reset, keeping signals light, direct, and easy for most horses to understand. Its balanced feel makes it a popular choice for adding leverage without overwhelming sensitivity. This setup suits riders who want clarity without heaviness, especially when working on rate, bend, and straightness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mouthpiece combines twisted wire bars with a jointed dogbone center. The twisted wire adds definition on the bars, giving horses that tend to lean or brace a clearer boundary. The dogbone center lies flatter on the tongue and reduces the palate pinch often associated with a single joint. Independent side action keeps lateral cues crisp, helping riders fine-tune shoulder control and body alignment without excessive intensity. This bit offers a moderate-to-firm feel best used by confident, experienced hands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe twisted wire sides offer more defined bar contact for horses that lean on smoother mouths.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe jointed dogbone center provides independent side action and reduces palate pinch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Argentine cheek (6 ½\") delivers light leverage, quick pickup, and an easy reset.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModerate-to-firm feel suited to experienced riders working with horses that need clearer boundaries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for shaping bend, shoulder control, straightness, and refined communication.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement \/ Material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMouthpiece\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\" twisted wire with jointed dogbone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShank Style\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArgentine Shank\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 ½\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand-forged steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBit Severity \/ Feel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModerate to firm; best for experienced riders and horses needing more bar definition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRate, bend, shoulder control, straightness, and improving responsiveness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"SHILOH TACK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44899551117494,"sku":"017262077152","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0070\/2637\/6822\/files\/3e552f02-d42c-4bb0-8605-43e33acba57a.jpg?v=1770764105","url":"https:\/\/trailsendwesternwear.com\/products\/argentine-shank-with-jointed-twisted-wire-dogbone","provider":"Trails End Western Wear \u0026 Tack","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
