Product Details: Frequently Asked Questions Is this bit suitable for horses with sensitive mouths or those transitioning from a snaffle? Absolutely! The Equisential Lifesaver Bit is often described as excellent for horses with soft mouths and serves as a great transition bit from a snaffle. It offers gentle yet effective communication, making it ideal for horses needing a milder option that still provides clear signals. How does the copper twist mouthpiece work, and what are its benefits? The mild copper wire twist is designed to keep your horse's mouth moist by encouraging salivation, which promotes relaxation and makes the horse more accepting of the bit. The twisted design applies a more concentrated pressure to the bars of the mouth, helping to achieve clearer signals for breaking at the poll, improving lateral movement, and enhancing collection without being overly harsh. What is the impact of the short shank design? The short shank design is a key feature that provides less leverage on the horse's mouth compared to bits with longer shanks. This results in a milder action and a quicker reaction time from the rider's hand, offering gentle leverage that is easier to handle and promotes a more immediate response. What specific performance improvements can I expect from using this bit? Riders typically see significant improvements in collection, lateral movement, and overall responsiveness. The bit works off tongue and bar pressure to promote more break at the poll, leading to a more engaged hindquarters and a better topline. Additionally, the gag cheek design provides elevation in the shoulders, further enhancing your horse's agility and presence. How should this bit be fitted, and what about the durability of copper? The bit should be adjusted to fit with approximately one wrinkle in the horse's mouth, and a loose curb strap is recommended. While copper bits may show wear and rust faster when exposed to moisture, this "rusting" is actually oxidation that creates a pleasant, sweet taste. This encourages further salivation and acceptance, turning a potential concern into an advantage for a moist, responsive mouth. Ready to improve your horse's performance with gentle, effective cues?
