Troubleshooting
Bit appears to be too large or too small for the pony.
Measure the pony's mouth width accurately. This bit is 9.5cm. If the fit is incorrect, consider one of the other available sizes from Waldhausen (e.g., 10.5cm or 11.5cm).
Pony seems uncomfortable or resistant to the bit.
Ensure the bit is correctly positioned in the mouth and that the bridle is adjusted properly. Check for any irritations or sores. Allow the pony time to adjust to the new bit.
Bit shows signs of wear or corrosion.
Rinse and dry the bit thoroughly after each use. Store in a dry place. Stainless steel is durable, but prolonged exposure to moisture can still cause discoloration over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This bit is designed to be used with standard horse bridles. Ensure the bit rings pass through the bridle's cheekpieces correctly and that the bit sits comfortably in the pony's mouth. The correct hang should allow for one wrinkle in the corner of the pony's mouth when in place.
Compatibility: This 9.5cm snaffle bit is specifically sized for ponies. It is compatible with most standard pony bridles. Please verify the pony's mouth width to ensure a proper fit; other sizes are available from Waldhausen.
Care: After each use, rinse the bit with clean water to remove any debris. For deeper cleaning, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing. Dry the bit completely with a soft cloth before storing it to prevent rust or corrosion. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools.
