Mule Tape Bit Hobble from Martin Saddlery is a nice lightweight yet durable option for your Western shank bit. The bit hobble keeps the bit shanks together when run through the bit's rein loops. It also prevents the shank from turning into the horse's face. The Mule Tape Bit Hobble should be attached to the rings in front of the reins. A Western bit hobble helps the shanks move together as an integrated unit, which helps horses that need clear cues for neck reining and those transitioning to a leverage bit. Mule tape is a durable poly blend, also called pulling tape, with low stretch and light weight. Attaches to the bit with buttons.
