Key Features & Benefits: Encourages Salivation & Acceptance: Crafted with sweet iron and copper inlays, this bit is designed to rust slightly, creating a sweet taste that encourages salivation for a softer, more accepting mouth. Product Details: Frequently Asked Questions What type of horse and rider is this bit best suited for? Due to its directness and sharper pressure, this bit is generally recommended for **experienced riders with soft, educated hands** and horses that may lean on the bit or require more significant "tuning" to achieve a lighter response. While it can promote a more sensitive mouth, it’s not typically recommended for novice riders or as an everyday bit for very sensitive horses, as improper use can cause discomfort. How do I clean and maintain this bit? After each use, rinse the bit thoroughly with water to remove dirt, saliva, and sweat. Periodically, you can use a mild soap for a deeper clean. Ensure the bit is completely dry before storing it. The sweet iron and copper are designed to rust, which encourages salivation, so don't be alarmed by a reddish patina – it's part of its intended function! Is this twisted wire bit legal for competition? This is a critical question for competitive equestrians. **Twisted wire bits are often NOT legal for many competitive disciplines** under various organizations (such as 4-H, AQHA, NRHA, NRCHA) which commonly require smooth mouthpieces. Always check the specific rulebook of your discipline and organization before using this bit in competition to ensure compliance. Why is this bit designed to rust? The sweet iron and copper inlays are deliberately chosen because they oxidize (rust) when exposed to moisture. This process creates a sweet taste in the horse's mouth, which encourages salivation. Increased salivation can lead to a more relaxed jaw, a softer mouth, and better acceptance of the bit, promoting a more responsive connection. How do the D-rings help with lateral guidance? The D-ring design provides a larger, flat surface against the side of the horse's mouth and lips. When a rein is pulled to one side, the D-ring creates a more pronounced pressure against the opposite side of the face, encouraging the horse to yield and turn in the desired direction. This makes it beneficial for teaching lateral flexion and for younger horses needing clear guidance.
