This encourages salivation and mouthing, which in turn promotes relaxation and better acceptance of the bit by your horse, leading to a more willing and responsive ride.How does the copper roller affect bit action and control?The copper roller in the center creates an uneven surface that can increase the bit's engagement without being overly harsh. Coupled with the raised copper ribs, it helps prevent your horse from taking too much of a hold or leaning on the bit. It's excellent for engaging horses with "busy mouths" or acting as a pacifier for nervous horses, improving overall control.What about durability and maintenance, especially with sweet iron's oxidation?Sweet iron is intentionally designed to oxidize (rust), as this harmless process contributes to the bit's sweet taste, encouraging acceptance. The bit features durable stainless steel cheeks for rust resistance where it matters most. To maintain its longevity, we recommend cleaning and thoroughly drying the bit after each use. The oxidation is a natural part of its function and doesn't compromise the bit's integrity.Is this bit suitable for all types of horses?While an excellent choice for many, this bit is particularly beneficial for horses that tend to be strong in the mouth, need encouragement to relax and accept the bit, or are young and in the initial stages of being mouthed. Its design promotes comfort and responsiveness, making it a versatile option for enhancing communication and control across various temperaments and training needs.Product DetailsProduct Item Number (SKU): 509BLKSWI4.5Mouthpiece Thickness: 14mmCheek Height: 65mmReady to elevate your riding?
