Shires Full Cheek Snaffle with Copper Peanut - 5.5"

The copper peanut link encourages salivation, which can help the horse accept the bit more readily and promote a softer mouth.

This bit is ideal for young or green horses as the cheeks can assist with steering.

Measure the width of your horse's mouth using a bit gauge or by placing a ruler where the bit sits. The bit should sit comfortably without pinching or being too loose.

Rinse the bit after each use to remove any debris. Use a soft brush and warm water, and clean the copper with a metal cleaner as needed.

The cheek height is 165 mm.

The mouthpiece thickness is 13 mm.

This bit is primarily designed for schooling. Its suitability for other disciplines depends on the horse and the rider's needs.

Check the fit of the bit; ensure it is the correct size and sits comfortably in the horse's mouth. Consider a different bit if resistance persists.

Measure the horse's mouth and compare it to the bit dimensions. Adjust the bridle accordingly to achieve a proper fit.

Clean the copper link with a suitable metal cleaner to remove oxidation and maintain a clean surface.
