The SC-045SS Training Ring is a simple, versatile setup for the horse that needs a clear, immediate cue without adding shank leverage.
The locked mouthpiece gives you instant contact when you pick up your reins, while the separate headstall ring keeps the headstall from sliding around on the ring. That added stability makes the response even quicker and more consistent than the SC-045S, which has only the locked mouthpiece.
It’s an easy bit to reach for whether you’re starting a young horse, doing everyday slow work, or tuning a seasoned competition horse that just needs a clean, direct feel.
Best For
Young horses learning to respond to rein pressure, seasoned horses that need a quick tune-up, or riders wanting a direct feel without moving into a shank.
Feel
Quick, stable, and direct. The locked mouthpiece and separate headstall ring take away extra movement, so your cue comes through immediately.
Rider Note
A great training-ring option when you want the simplicity of an O-ring style bit, but you don’t want to wait on the bit to move before your horse feels your hand.
