This translates to enhanced responsiveness from your horse, helping you achieve a desirable 'soft feel' and transition smoothly to higher levels of training and communication.What makes the mouthpiece comfortable and appealing for my horse?The smooth snaffle mouthpiece is designed to distribute gentle, even pressure across the horse's palate and bars. Furthermore, its construction from sweet iron with a copper inlay encourages salivation and creates a pleasant, sweet taste. This combination promotes a moist mouth, greater comfort, and a more willing acceptance of the bit.I heard sweet iron can rust. Is this normal, and how should I care for it?Yes, the rusting of sweet iron is completely normal and, in fact, an intentional feature! When exposed to moisture, sweet iron naturally oxidizes, creating a 'sweet' taste that encourages salivation and acceptance from your horse. To care for it, simply rinse the bit after each use and allow it to air dry. While some surface rust will develop, it won't affect performance and is part of the bit's design to enhance horse comfort.Is this bit suitable for my horse's current training level, especially if they are new to long shank bits?This Professionals Choice bit is an excellent all-purpose mouthpiece, suitable for most horses and effective for both training and competition. It's often considered a 'step up' from shorter shank options, offering increased leverage for riders looking to refine communication and advance their horse's responsiveness. If your horse is ready for more nuanced cues, this bit can be a valuable tool in their progression.How do I ensure the Professionals Choice Long Shank Smooth Snaffle Bit fits my horse correctly?For optimal performance and comfort, the bit should be adjusted to create approximately one wrinkle at the corners of your horse's mouth. The curb strap, if applicable, should be loose enough to allow for two to three fingers to fit comfortably between it and your horse's chin, ensuring appropriate action without unnecessary restriction.Product SpecificationsProduct Item Number (SKU): EQB-412Brand: Professionals ChoiceMouthpiece Type: Smooth SnaffleMaterial: Sweet Iron with Copper InlayShank Type: Long ShankIntended Use: Training, Competition, General RidingDon't settle for less – invest in your horse's comfort and performance today.
