Our Cathedral Port w/ copper cricket is almost 3" tall and a true signal bit. The cheeks are all hand etched artwork with a half moon for balancing. Large diameter bars are very soft on the horses mouth with lots of copper inlay on the mouthpiece making it appealing to the horse. Rein connector loops swivel completely. Very well balanced and made for a horseman with soft hands. The horse will carry this bit, versus it just hangs from the headstall because of the weight and distribution of the half moon. The high port offers tongue relief and cricket gives the anxiety a go away place.
