FAQs

What is the purpose of the copper rollers?

The copper rollers encourage salivation, which can lead to a softer mouth and better acceptance of the bit.

Is this bit suitable for all horses?

No, it is not recommended for young or novice horses as it doesn't encourage them to take contact.

How do I clean the bit?

Clean the bit with warm water and a mild soap after each use. Rinse thoroughly and dry before storage.

What is the action of the jointed design?

The joint creates a nutcracker action that applies pressure to the tongue.

What are the benefits of the D rings?

The D rings facilitate improved steering, offering less guidance than bits with full cheeks and prevent pinching at the corners of the mouth.

What should I do if the bit doesn't fit correctly?

Consult a professional to determine the correct size and fit for your horse. A poorly fitted bit can cause discomfort and resistance.

How often should I inspect the bit?

Inspect the bit regularly for wear and tear. Replace it if you notice any damage that could cause harm to your horse.

Troubleshooting

Horse resists the bit

Check the bit's fit and consider a different mouthpiece or bit style. Ensure the rider's hands are soft and consistent.

Horse doesn't salivate

Check the horse's hydration and overall health. The copper rollers should encourage salivation, but individual responses can vary. Ensure the bit is clean.

Horse is too strong

Ensure the bit is the correct size. Review the rider's technique and seek professional guidance if needed.
