Sharon Camarillo Tender Touch

Designed for horses with sensitive mouths that need light to medium control, this top-selling transition bit is designed for introducing indirect control of leverage from the shank and pressure from the curb chain. Works off tongue, lips, and bar pressure. IDEAL FOR: • Transitioning a horse from a snaffle to a leverage bit. • The performance horse that is soft, supple, and doesn’t require much leverage. • Leisure riding. WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT: • The 730 Tender Touch was designed by National Cowgirl Museum Hall of Famer, Sharon Camarillo. Sharon is a four-time NFR barrel racing qualifier and a renowned horseman. • The three-piece mouthpiece aids in the prevention of the “nutcracker” effect across the horse’s bars. • The wrapped mouth provides a slight “bite” for added control. • Sweet Iron will rust and promote salivation to make a more supple-feeling mouth. • Hand-made in Yoakum, Tx, by some of our top craftsmen. • The LIFETIME warranty. HELPFUL TIPS: • Applies pressure across the bars of the mouth when pressure is applied to the reins. • Adjust headstall up to touch or one wrinkle and loosen curb to 3-4 fingers to allow gag action to work properly. Start loose and increase tightness for additional control or increased signaling. • The 730 Tender Touch falls into our Stage B category of bits. Stage B is all about transitioning with the introduction of leverage and curb pressure. Short shank bits are common in Stage B. MORE DETAILS: • All leverage bits should be used with a curb chain to function properly. Without a curb chain, a shanked bit can rotate back toward the rider. Curb chains should stop the shank’s rotation at approximately 45 degrees. • Cheeks are made of medical-grade stainless steel to prevent rusting and guarantee longevity. • Each bit is closely inspected by a team of expert craftsmen who pride themselves on the quality of their workmanship. WARRANTY: • LIFETIME – that’s right, we mean it. • If at any point your bit is showing damage, call our customer service team to receive a prompt repair. CARE INSTRUCTIONS: • Store indoors or in a tack room • Wipe or brush off debris after each use. • Check your bit before each use for wear.
