FAQs

What is the purpose of the copper in the mouthpiece?

The copper promotes salivation and chewing, which can help the horse relax and accept the bit more readily.

Is the Cupris Solid Double Jointed Snaffle suitable for all horses?

While it is suitable for most horses, individual preferences vary. It is important to monitor your horse's reaction and adjust as needed.

How do I determine the correct size for my horse?

Measure the horse's mouth width. The bit should fit comfortably without pinching. Consult a bit fitting guide or professional if needed.

How often should I clean the bit?

Clean the bit after each use to remove any saliva or debris and prevent oxidation of the copper.

What are the benefits of the double-jointed design?

The double-jointed design can provide a more even pressure distribution in the horse's mouth, and helps to reduce the nutcracker effect.

What material are the rings made of?

The rings are made of stainless steel.

How do I know if the bit is wearing out?

Inspect the bit regularly for any signs of wear, such as sharp edges, damage to the joints, or excessive wear on the mouthpiece. Replace the bit if any damage is found.
